The Capital City Fellows Program (CCFP) is an initiative of Mayor Anthony Williams to attract recent graduates of master's degree programs in public administration, public policy, urban planning, and related fields to work for the city of Washington, DC.


Candidates compete for two-year fellowship appointments during which they complete four six-month rotations in different city agencies, including the Office of the City Administrator, Office of Personnel, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Department of
Human Services, Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Transportation, and the Metropolitan Police Department. In addition to on-the-job training in their host agencies, Fellows are given unique opportunities to meet with high-level city officials and
participate in educational and professional development seminars.

The program prepares Fellows to meet the challenges of local government public service and develops management talent for the city. Fellows are required to live in the District within 180
days of appointment and they receive an initial appointment at the DS-12/1 level (currently $46,770). They are eligible for benefits afforded all regular city government employees such as health insurance, annual and sick leave.
