About the position
As a Governmental Affairs Spring 2025 Intern at Southwest Airlines, you will have the opportunity to engage in real-time projects that contribute to the company's initiatives and overall mission of connecting people to what matters in their lives through friendly, reliable, and low-cost air travel. This 12-week internship will run from January 28th through April 17th, 2025, and will require you to be based in Washington, DC or the surrounding area, with a commitment to be on-site for at least three days per week.
You will dedicate a minimum of 24 hours each week to your internship responsibilities, with the potential to work up to 40 hours per week.

The internship may require you to dress in business professional attire for specific functions, and you will be provided with any necessary equipment, such as a laptop, to perform your duties effectively. Your role will primarily involve assisting the Governmental Affairs team with various Federal, State/Local, and international initiatives, as well as projects related to the Political Action Committee. You will conduct research on legislative and regulatory issues, prepare briefing materials, and present your findings both in writing and verbally.
Additionally, you will attend meetings with government officials, communicate with in-house experts and outside consultants, and assist in planning and executing special events. This internship is designed to provide you with valuable experience in governmental affairs while allowing you to develop your professional skills in a supportive environment.
