[YEP-DC] Policy and Legal Internship Openings: DC Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education

The DC Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education (DME) is actively seeking graduate level legal and policy interns for the fall semester.  Interns should be current students in Law, Policy, Education, Business, or other graduate programs who are seeking part-time or full-time internship opportunities.  Internships are unpaid, but can be offered for academic credit.  The DME office oversees a wide array of public education issues and is responsible for developing and implementing the Mayor's vision for academic excellence and creating a high quality education continuum from birth to 24 (from early childhood to K-12 to post-secondary and the workforce).  The agencies in the DME cluster include DC Public Schools, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, and the Department of Parks and Recreation.  DME also works in collaboration with the independent Department of Public Libraries, University of the District of Columbia, DC Public Charter School Board, and liaises with the State Board of Education. 

Interested applicants should email a resume, cover letter, and writing sample to Margie Yeager (margie.yeager@dc.gov), Chief of Staff by Friday Sept. 11.
