## About this program

The High School Internship Program, run by the DC Department of Employment Services' Office of Youth Programs, gives District high school students work-readiness skills, project-based learning, life skills, leadership training and work opportunities during the school year. Its goal is to help DC youth move from high school into postsecondary education, advanced training, employment or military service.

District high school students in grades 9-12, ages 14-21. The 2026-2027 application opened May 1, 2026 and closed August 1, 2026, and applicants complete an in-person or virtual certification; check the program pages for the next cycle.
