New York City Urban Fellows Program
———————
The NYC Urban Fellows Program has introduced America’s finest college graduates to local government and public service. The program is sponsored by the City of New York and administered by the department of Citywide Administrative Services. It is designed to introduce outstanding recent college graduates to local government and public service.
The 9 month program runs from September to May and combines full-time employment in an agency of the New York City government with a comprehensive seminar series exploring the mechanics of local government and the important issues and challenges facing the city. The unique opportunity to work with current decision makers and assist in the implementation of public policy distinguishes the Urban Fellows Program as the premier training program in government.
