NYC Urban Fellows Program

Sponsored by The City of New York and administered by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), the Urban Fellows Program is a nine-month fellowship which combines work in Mayoral offices and City agencies with volunteer service opportunities and a seminar series that explores current urban issues impacting public policy. The program is designed to introduce individuals who earned or will have earned a bachelor's degree within the past two years to local government and public service. Program participants come from all over the country to work in New York City.
