“I encourage all students in good academic standing to apply for a summer internship with my office,” said Clerk del Valle. “Students gain valuable work experience assisting with city vehicle sticker sales and other administrative duties.”

The paid internship is an eight week temporary position. Students must be in good academic standing with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 grading scale or a 3.5 on a 5.0 grading scale. Students who speak Spanish or Polish are encouraged to apply and will be given preference as bi-lingual skills may be required.

City Clerk interns must be available to work 35 hours per week and some Saturdays may be required. Internships run May 17 through July 15, June 1 through July 30 or June 16 through August 13. Freshmen and sophomore interns earn $8.75 per hour while students in their junior year and above earn $9.50 per hour. Student interns must be actual residents of Chicago and be available to work for the entire eight week program.
