Congressional Youth Council

In an effort to get students from across the 8th District more involved in learning about the United States government and interested in public service, Congressman Larry Kissell (NC-08) has formed a Congressional Youth Council. 

The Youth Council is open to young people between the ages of 14 and 19. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about government, the processes involved with shaping public policy and advise Congressman Kissell on issues important to the youth of the 8th District. Students interested in participating should complete an application.

Internship Program

I run an internship program accepting college students interested in learning about the operations of a congressional office. In addition to general office support, interns assist my staff with constituent services, Capitol tours, and light research. Interns are also encouraged to attend hearings, lectures, and seminars available in Congress and around the Hill.
