Student Intern Program
State House Office of Raymond S. Burton, Executive Councilor
Posted: Ongoing
Student interns perform a very valuable service in my State House office and are utilized in a productive manner. Executive Council District One is extremely large and requires a great deal of travel and time to adequately serve the requests and needs of local towns, agencies, and citizens in general.
REQUIREMENTS:
Student Interns are required to earn academic credit for this experience with Councilor Burton. The number of credits is usually determined by the amount of time involved.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Student Interns carry out a variety of tasks in and out of the office including, but not limited to:
• follow up on requests from citizens
• assist a state agency with a special problem
• arrange a day's schedule of office hours, visitations, briefings, etc., for Councilor Burton
• prepare, mail and tabulate surveys of various groups such as town clerks, police and fire chiefs and chambers' of commerce
• research specialized areas such as acid rain, rural airports, or financial resources for senior citizen centers and service providers
• write news releases on specific topics of interest for District One
• represent Councilor Burton at legislative hearings or other meetings in Concord, NH or throughout the District
Counselor Burton agrees to write a letter of agreement at the outset of the internship, comply with all evaluation requirements of the intern's institution and write a final exit letter and evaluation.
