The Richardson Building Intern Housing program provides an enriching experience for young professional conservative interns at a reasonable cost. Conveniently located adjacent to The Heritage Foundation on the Senate side of Capitol Hill, our Intern Housing location is an easy walk to House and Senate office buildings. It is also nearby to Union Station for easy Metro access, making it an ideal location for interns on the Hill and throughout the Washington, D.C. area.
Internship Amplifier
The Richardson Building Intern Housing program is more than a place to live, it is a place to grow and build community. We strive to create an engaging community, to mentor our residents, and build a network of like-minded conservative leaders. Our hope is that each resident leaves encouraged and more equipped than when they arrived in Washington, D.C. Each of our residential floors is staffed by Resident Advisors (RAs) who have a passion for working with young adults eager to begin their career in Washington, D.C. The experience, wisdom, and mentorship by the RAs is unparalleled across other intern housing options in the city. Choosing to live and participate in our program is an internship amplifier. It offers you a network of peers on a similar journey with lasting opportunity for impact.
“There is no better place than the E.W. Richardson Building to grow long-lasting, unique, and genuine community with likeminded interns from all over the country. The building is in a great neighborhood and the proximity to the Capitol can’t be beat. You’ll never be at a loss for people that want to explore the city and get the most out of their time in D.C. You will, without a doubt, leave here with hard goodbyes and better equipped to navigate your career alongside people that will encourage you and grow you. ”
“At the E.W. Richardson Building, I was able to foster authentic and lasting relationships with my fellow residents, many of whom I keep in regular contact with today. I love how the building creates space for community, intellectual thought, and deep friendship. There is truly nothing out there in D.C. like Richardson. The staff were incredibly hospitable and genuine, and they are a plethora of information on all things D.C., from conservative partnerships to professional advice and the best restaurant recommendations. If you are looking for a place where you can truly make your mark on the District in addition to your organization/internship, are seeking authentic mentorship from great Resident Advisors and fellow interns, look no further, because this is it.”
