The New York City Urban Fellows

The 2022-2023 Urban Fellows Cohort outside City Hall.

Sponsored by the City of New York and administered by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, New York City Urban Fellows is a nationally recognized and highly competitive, nine-month fellowship program that explores current urban issues through unique learning seminars and first-hand exposure to public sector leaders.

Urban Fellows are placed at an array of agencies across the City where they learn about public policy and work closely with leaders engaged in policy and operational work. A stipend is offered to fellows accepted into the program.
