How to use this page
Start with the programs that have their own application. Museum teen councils (the Met, the Brooklyn Museum, MoMA, the Bronx Museum), hospital and lab placements, and library internships all run their own selection process and most pay a stipend.
The borough lists below come from the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development's after-school table. They are free and open to a wide age range rather than high-school specific, so treat them as a place to look locally rather than a competitive application.
New York deadlines cluster in the autumn for spring programs and in the late winter for summer ones. The deadline tracker lists every dated program in the catalogue, New York or not.
Frequently asked questions
What free programs are there for high school students in NYC?
The city's DYCD after-school programs are free and run in all five boroughs; they are listed by borough on this page. Several selective programs are also free and pay a stipend, including museum teen councils and library internships.
Do NYC high school internships pay?
Many do. Museum teen councils, the New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library programs, and hospital and research placements commonly pay a stipend. Each listing states the cost or stipend where the official page gives one.
When do NYC program applications close?
Autumn for spring and school-year programs, and January to March for summer programs. Every listing with a confirmed date is on the deadline tracker, which groups programs by what closes next.
Are these programs only for New York City students?
The city after-school programs are for New York City residents. The selective programs vary — some are open to any student who can travel to the site, and the eligibility is given on each listing.
