Thank you for your interest in applying to be a San Francisco Fellow for Fiscal Year 2016-17-- we look forward to hearing from you!
The mission of the San Francisco Fellows program is to foster community stewardship by preparing talented recent college graduates for future leadership roles in public service. The program is a unique and dynamic opportunity to learn about the City and County of San Francisco while gaining 11+ months of hands-on experience implementing programs and services. Over 90 Fellows have participated through the program's predecessor, City Hall Fellows, since 2009. While we review several factors, one set requirement of the program is that participants will have completed their undergraduate degrees between May 2013 and June 2016.
