Interns will be selected to work in Barrasso’s Casper or Cheyenne offices.

Part time positions are available and Senator Barrasso’s state offices will work out a schedule to fit around student’s classes.

Interns receive a monthly stipend and are responsible for their living expenses. The dates for the spring session are January 7th through May 16th.

Applicants are typically residents of Wyoming , in college, and are 21 years of age or older.

School credit may be obtained if university or college requirements are met.
