Please use your personal email and contact information to register with Eagle Advocacy. Your FGCU email address is a government email address. State law requires that no university resources be used to lobby other government agencies such as the Legislature and therefore your FGCU email address should not be used to register.
The program provides an opportunity for FGCU students to receive a full-time, non-partisan internship that is stipend-supported during the Spring Semester of each academic year. Interns will receive hands-on experience learning about state political dynamics and the legislative process while working for an elected official or within a government agency.
Program participants will receive well-rounded political and academic experience that complements traditional classroom learning with the ability to acquire unique job skills, protocol skills, and networking skills within the atmosphere of the Florida State Capitol.
Legislative Interns represent FGCU, and therefore, the highest conduct is expected. Interns must adapt to a rigorous work schedule, and develop an effective working relationship with their sponsoring elected official and/or supervisor.
