 Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert Intern Fellows Program 

The Mayor’s Intern Fellows is an 8-week summer internship program. The goal of this program is to introduce Dallas public high school students to employment opportunities for the purpose of preparing and motivating these students for higher education. The initiative allows students to visualize their future, see the possibilities that a quality education can afford, and acquire the tools to chart a course to realize their goals. As an incentive, the program also pays a competitive wage. Eligible students will have already demonstrated a commitment to academics and higher education.
