Mayor’s Internship Program

Providing paid opportunities for college students to learn and contribute to the City's operations.

About

The Mayor’s Internship Program (MIP) is a 10-week paid summer internship from June to August. Each year, 50 college students are selected by the Office of Talent & Employee Success. Then, they are assigned to one of over 40 City agencies.

Interns are paid $18 an hour and contribute to research, administrative tasks, and support work. The internship requires 25 to 37.5 hours per week, depending on the department's needs. This includes weekly professional development sessions and group projects.

Each year, interns complete a group or community project. They present their findings at the closing ceremony in front of the mayor or senior leadership. Interns are also invited to participate in optional summer programming.
