President Obama Launches White House Internship Program
President Obama today launched the White House Internship Program for
his administration and announced that applications are currently being
accepted for the summer of 2009. Those selected to participate in the

“This program will mentor and cultivate young leaders of today and
tomorrow and I’m proud that they will have this opportunity to serve,”
said President Obama. “I look forward to working with those that are
selected to participate and I want to commend all who apply for their
desire to help through public service to forge a brighter future for
our country.”
In addition to normal office duties, interns will supplement their
learning experience by attending a weekly lecture series hosted by
senior White House staff, help at White House social events, and
