The Hawaiʻi State Legislative Internship Program provides UH West Oʻahu students with the unique opportunity to work with legislators in either the Hawaiʻi State House of Representatives and the Senate. Interns will gain insights into elective politics and observe the legislative decision-making process.
Interns work an average of 40 hours per week assisting a senator or representative from January through May 2018.
Interns will get paid for work and receive the full cost of spring 2018 tuition while earning 12 academic credits. The Hawaiʻi State Legislative Internship Program is open to UH West Oʻahu students only.
