The City of New York’s Public Engagement Unit (PEU) was created in 2015 to serve New Yorkers in historically underserved neighborhoods and connect them to key City services, using innovative methods of proactive outreach.

By combining proactive outreach, long term case management, and an interagency approach, PEU breaks down bureaucratic barriers to better serve those who are struggling with a range of hardships – from landlord harassment, homelessness, housing insecurity and eviction, to lack of health insurance, food insecurity, and much more.

Job Description 

PEU policy interns will work 25 hours per week and receive ongoing training to assist PEU’s Policy Director and PEU’s outreach teams while building professional skills.   

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
