Maryland General Assembly Legislative Intern Program
The Maryland General Assembly Legislative Intern Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to work directly in legislative offices during the annual legislative session, which begins the second Wednesday in January and continues through early April.
Throughout the 90-day session, interns gain firsthand experience with the daily operations of a legislative office, observe the legislative process in action, and develop a deeper understanding of Maryland’s democratic system while serving state residents.
The program places students with state senators, delegates, committees, and caucuses. This internship has been particularly popular among UMBC students and has helped many graduates secure their first post-graduation employment opportunities.
