Unlike many youth-orientated internships, the Summer in the City Internship Program seeks to offer interns substantive assignments throughout the length of the program.  As a valued team member, you will have the opportunity to perform assignments like regular city staff as well as learn valuable lessons about the workforce.  As part of the program, interns will also complete individual or group projects of their choosing.  Some past assignments and projects include:
