This article features opportunities that the politically inclined may relish, but excludes internships for elected officials. However, if you're interested in that type of internship, visit teensinpolitics.org for more information. Let's get started!

For the history buff: New York Historical Society Student Historian Program

As someone who has completed this internship, I unequivocally endorse this internship. Unlike other internship programs, the N-YHS program is singularly dedicated to furthering the education of its participants instead of 2019 political law bar exam suggested answers assigning them menial tasks. If you're interested in learning more about history, further cultivating your research skills, and meeting other like-minded high school students, this internship is for you.

For the aspiring lawyer:

New York County District Attorney's Office High School Internship Program

The NY District Attorney's Office Program is a six week internship program that provides high school students with the opportunity to witness the inner-workings of the justice system. One of the great perks of this program is that interns are paid a $150 weekly stipend. Teens who are interested in pursuing a career in public-sector law will enjoy this experience.
