City Hall Fellows

City Hall Fellows is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that was founded in March 2007.

City Hall Fellows places recent college graduates throughout the local government with high-level local officials (e.g. mayor's office, city council, police department, housing agency). Fellows function as full-time staff members in their assigned departments and work on projects and tasks designated by their host city. In addition to working on critical city projects, Fellows participate in an intensive and comprehensive Civic Leadership Development Program spanning the entire fellowship term.^[1]

In 2009, nearly 500 people applied for 16 slots.^[2]

Duration and Locations

The City Hall Fellows fellowship is a full-time, 12-month position. Fellows are grouped in cohorts of six to ten within each host city. Currently, fellows work for the cities of San Francisco, CA and Houston, TX. Starting in the Fall of 2010, fellows will also be placed in Baton Rouge, LA.

Civic Leadership Development Program

Through City Hall Fellows' proprietary Civic Leadership Development Program, Fellows are introduced to the history, organization, and politics of their host city, gain an in-depth understanding of city mechanics (such as the budget process and civil service), tour city facilities, explore public policy issues facing America's cities and dialogue with leading city officials and other policy makers and policy influencers about the mechanics, politics and challenges of local governance. Fellows also complete service projects, including developing policy recommendations for review by senior city officials.

Fellows also spend 2–3 days in their state capital interfacing with state government leaders, and attend a three-day national convention in Washington, D.C.^[3]
