The Urban Leadership Fellows Program is a paid summer internship program for graduating seniors interested in business, finance, government, and/or public policy to gain valuable hands-on work experience and training in the municipal finance industry.
Interns work full-time for six weeks between July and August at prestigious firms around New York City. Additionally, all students are required to attend mandatory workshops, trainings, and events that take place between mid-May and mid-August. This is a great opportunity for these students to explore their career interests, network with professionals, and strengthen their skill sets with the support of their supervisors, mentors, and Program Coordinators from Futures and Options.
Student Qualifications are as follows:
· Graduating high school senior who resides in New York City
· Strong interest in a career in finance, business, government, and/or public policy
· Availability to work full-time (40 hrs/wk) for the six-week duration of the paid internship
