The DC Council’s Youth Internship Program (CYIP) is a yearlong program that provides high school juniors and seniors (ages 16-19) with exciting opportunities to gain meaningful professional and educational enrichment experiences through work in DC Councilmember offices.
Administered through the Council’s Office of Youth Programs (OYP), the CYIP is an excellent opportunity for youth to utilize their leadership skills regarding issues that impact their lives through participation in the legislative process, community service, and hearings. Interns will participate in Council meetings, hearings, and other aspects of legislative business. Past Council interns have received scholarships, awards, and have matriculated to some of America’s most renowned colleges and universities. They have been able to use their Council internship experience as a means to gain access to college and other educational and professional opportunities.
The application deadline for the 2010-2011 Session of the CYIP is Monday, September 27 2010. All complete application packets must be submitted or postmarked by this date.
