In case you’re missing the Obamas as much as we are by now (which, FYI, is a lot), there is now a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to spend time with them.
According to Cosmopolitan, the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama sent an email blast out to all the former White House interns which announced their new 16-week internship program in Washington D.C.
The program will apparently run from February 27 to June 16, and according to the email, the Obamas are looking for interns that, “take initiative, manage their time well, have strong attention to detail, solid writing skills and an utmost commitment to public service.”
The email didn’t state what interns would be needed for other than, “a variety of tasks,” but TBH, we don’t even need to know – we’d take any opportunity to work for the Obamas even if it just meant being an unpaid intern going on coffee runs.
Unfortunately for us, the email says that the deadline to apply for this specific program was February 8 – and they did want full-time commitment, meaning it’s probably out of our reach (for now!) as college students. While this opportunity might have passed, we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled for the next time Barack and Michelle need interns. Can you say coolest summer job ever?
