Step Into the Heart of Georgia's Policymaking

Each spring, the Georgia Legislative Internship Program (GLIP) offers a select group of college students the rare chance to work full-time inside the State Capitol, directly alongside lawmakers, committees, and legislative staff. As a GLIP intern, you won't just observe the legislative process — you'll help shape it. From tracking bills and attending committee hearings to drafting policy briefs and engaging with constituents, this immersive experience transforms classrooms into committee rooms and ambition into action.

Whether you're passionate about politics, public service, law, or simply want to build a powerful professional network, GLIP is your gateway to real-world impact and career-defining growth.
