The options in this article are likely to appeal to those with a political bent, however internships for elected politicians are not included. However, you may find out more about that kind of internship at teensinpolitics.org if you’d like to participate in it. Let’s get going!
For history enthusiasts:
Student Historian Program at the New York Historic Society
I wholeheartedly recommend this internship as an individual who has already finished it. In contrast to other internship initiatives, the N-YHS initiative is solely focused on helping its participants better their studies rather than giving them mundane work. This internship is for you if you want to broaden your knowledge of history, develop your research abilities, and connect to additional like-minded high school students.
For prospective attorneys:
- The High School Internships at the Manhattan County State Attorney’s Office
The New York District Attorney’s Court Program is a six-week internship program that offers high school students the chance to see how the legal system operates firsthand. This program’s wonderful bonus of paying interns a weekly stipend of $150 is offered. This experience will appeal to teenagers who want to work in public sector law.
- Internship Program at the Bronx County Deputy Attorney’s Office
The NY State Attorney’s Office Program is comparable. Internships for high school students must last at least two half days each week throughout the academic year. Interning high school students must work from 9 to 4 every day, Monday through Thursday.
Third, Thurgood Marshall Camp Law Program
Students from inner cities who are motivated are placed with legal firms for the summer as part of the Thurgood Marshall Program. This work experience is for you if you’re an adolescent seeking for a political law internship!
- Future Latino Entrepreneurs Law Camp, sponsored by the Hispanic International Bar Foundation
For nine days, participants in the HNPBF Camp are sent for free to Washington, D.C. Students may be high school seniors or current students.
For aspiring law enforcement officials:
- The FBI Internship Volunteer Program
Through the FBI Volunteer Program, high school students may learn more about the Bureau’s culture and potential career paths in american law enforcement. This internship would be a fun experience for you if you have a love of NCIS or CSI!
NYPD Law Enforcement Scouts
Young men and women within the age range of 14 and 20 have the option to work with officers from their neighborhood police precinct via the NYPD Justice Explorers Program. The NYPD is working to improve ties with the public via this initiative.
The mission of the New York-based nonprofit Teens in Politics is to increase adolescent access to political internships. We are now operating in New York City, and before the midterms in 2018, we want to reach the larger Northeast. For additional details, visit teensinpolitics.org!
