City Hall Fellows

Experience Your City in a Brand New Way

City Hall Fellows envisions a future in which America's cities lead the way in innovative and cross-disciplinary responses to society's problems. But a city government is only as good as the people who serve in it. For our vision to become a reality, America's best and brightest must go into city government and also develop a deep appreciation of the context in which city governments operate and how they can leverage the strengths of city government to maximize public good. Your financial support will help us build this new generation of enlightened civic leaders and make our vision of the future a reality.

City Hall Fellows is an independent 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in the State of California. All contributions to City Hall Fellows are tax-deductible pursuant to Internal Revenue Code. City Hall Fellows will not sell or share its donor list.

Do want to make a difference after you graduate? Change the future of America's cities.

City government directly impacts each of our daily lives. Have you ever wondered what really goes on inside City Hall? Questioned why your city chose its policing strategy? Pondered how your tax dollars were being spent? Wished you could decide what potholes got repaired and what roads got re-paved? Developed a new way to help underprivileged children in your community?

If you are a college senior or recent college graduate, here's your chance to try your hand at running your city. Spend a year inside the highest levels of city government and see how it works from the inside out. Be a part of the policy decisions, from creation to design to evaluation to implementation. Be a part of the solution. Be a City Hall Fellow.
