Welcome to High School Internship Program

Thank you for expressing interest in High School Internship Program(HSIP). The HSIP brings together private sector employers, community-based organizations, Federal government, and District government agencies to provide District youth who are between the ages of 14-21 with an array of work experiences to cultivate and stimulate professional and personal career aspirations. Employers in the Washington, DC metropolitan area make this annual program possible by volunteering to serve as Host Employers and providing structured job opportunities for youth during the year. Below, please find the Host Employer Application for the 2024-25 HSIP. An agreement must be completed for your program, agency, business or organization in order to participate as a host employer.

Any other suggestions

You are about to register as a Host Employer for the High School Internship Program. Please note that registration to participate is voluntary. DOES will pay stipends/wages directly to the youth workers assigned to your worksite, but will not provide funding for any additional costs that a Host Employer may incur.

	*	Participants are not permitted to report to a work site which they are not assigned. All work site assignments are visible in the participant portal and designated by the Office of Youth Programs (OYP) only. A participant’s failure to report to the assigned work site will result in forfeiture of pay for days in attendance at the incorrect site.
	*	I have read and understand the statement above. I agree to participate as a Host Employer for the 2024-25 HSIP and understand that DOES will not provide additional funds outside of the stipends/wages provided directly to youth participants.

DOES is an Equal Opportunity Employer/Provider

Language interpretation services are available without cost.

Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request for individuals with disabilities.
