ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The PA House Fellowship Program was created in 1982 by the BMC Leadership of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as an opportunity for students to be provided with work experience, education, and insight into the people, issues, and politics of the legislative process.
Based in Pennsylvania's magnificent State Capitol in Harrisburg, the program places undergraduate juniors and seniors, graduate students, and law school students attending Pennsylvania colleges or universities in the offices of Committee Chairmen or House Leaders. Pennsylvania residents are also eligible to participate in this program if they attend an out-of-state school.
Fellows will be placed in either a Leadership office or in the office of a committee Chairman. Weekly workshops for the House Fellows are scheduled with Members of the House of Representatives and Senate, executive staff from House Leadership, standing committees, Legislative Service Agencies and the Governor's Office, as well as prominent lobbyists, to name a few. Fellows receive a bi-weekly stipend. Credits are set by the academic institutions.
Pay: $12.00 per hour
