Join us for a data-fun summer!

We’re thrilled to launch our 2nd annual Summer Academy.

The Mayor’s Data Team implements Mayor Garcetti’s data strategy for the City of Los Angeles. We work with city departments, the civic tech community, sister cities, private partners, and academics to develop insights and digital tools that make the City more livable and equitable for all Angelenos.

Last year we kicked off the first Summer Academy, an internship program that gives students the chance make real change in Los Angeles and gain practical experience working with the city. Students tackled a range of projects from addressing the impacts of ride-sharing to optimizing sidewalks accessibility. More details on our interns’ experience here.

Now the Academy is back and applications are open! This unique opportunity allows students to get first-hand experience in analytics, app development, and communications in City Hall. The Academy is a competitive 12 week internship that will give you a chance to work directly with city departments and support data-driven and innovative strategies for addressing prevailing issues in Los Angeles, working on policy topics ranging from sustainability to public safety.

Positions are available in any of these three areas:
