2024 Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program

My office has been selected to participate in the Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program. As a result, we are seeking eligible applicants for a two-year paid position as a district representative who will attend local meetings and events on my behalf and act as a facilitator between constituents and federal, state, and local agencies. The program was established to create employment opportunities for Veterans, Gold Star families, and Active-Duty Spouses within the U.S. House of Representatives. These positions provide program participants with the experience and exposure necessary to broaden their career opportunities and assist other Veterans as constituent service representatives. 

The program is limited to Veterans and Gold Star Families who meet all of the following requirements: Veterans must be Honorably discharged, released from active duty within the last six years, terminal pay grades at or below E-5,O-3,or W-2. Veterans promoted to the pay grades of E-6, O-4, and W-3 within 6 months of separation from active duty are eligible, granted they meet ALL other eligibility requirements. Veterans who are in receipt of a 20 year or Temporary Early Retirement Authorization (TERA) retirement are not eligible for the program. Gold Star applicants must be the spouse, parent/step-parent, sibling/step-sibling, child or step-child of a service member who died in the line of duty, or from a service connected disability. Active-duty spouses must be a spouse of a service member serving on active duty in a regular component of the armed forces.

Eligible applicants are asked to apply for their desired office:
