City leaders are often best positioned to make government more effective, efficient, innovative, and equitable for residents. The Bloomberg Harvard City Hall Fellowship provides you with the opportunity to work with city hall colleagues to address mayors’ key priorities, developing new approaches and delivering innovative policies, programs, and services to the community.
