Grant Summary

$200,000 over 24 months to move the New York City Leaders Fellowship pilot program to a full program with an institutional home in the newly established Moynihan Center. The Fellowship will now give 15 highly motivated undergraduates both the academic study and hands-on experience they will need to become the next generation of civic leaders in New York City. Students take two sequential liberal arts courses before beginning an internship program in New York City public service.
