Like many teenagers, the children of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will spend part of the summer working at an unpaid internship.

On Thursday, New York City's first lady Chirlane McCray announced that her son, Dante, 16, and daughter, Chiara, 19, started a month-long internship with the City of New York this week. According to McCray, they started the internships as a way to give back to the City.

"Bill and I didn't just raise our children in New York; we raised our children with New York. Chiara and Dante are city kids through and through, and many of the traits that make them wonderful young adults can be traced back to their fellow New Yorkers -- their teachers, coaches, neighbors and friends," wrote McCray on her #FLONYC blog.

She noted that Chiara will be working with the city's Office to Combat Domestic Violence.

"She is passionate about working directly with people and this is a great chance for her to get involved with an important issue at the grassroots level," her mother wrote.

The college student will assist victims of abuse by in the Healthy Relationship Training Academy and the Outreach Team, McCray wrote.

"Chiara is excited to begin helping others, especially young women, reclaim their lives. And I'm excited that she'll be working with Commissioner Rose Pierre-Louis, who has been a vocal advocate for survivors of domestic violence for more than 25 years," McCray wrote.

Meanwhile, Dante, who will start his senior year in high school this fall, will work with Dominic Williams, the chief of staff to First Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris, doing "typical intern stuff," like research and filing.

She added that, "Dom and Dante share a love for philosophy, politics and debate, and I know Dante will make a great addition to the team."

"Both internships are fantastic opportunities for Chiara and Dante to give back and grow through service," McCray said.

Like the de Blasio children, the daughter of former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg also worked at an unpaid internship in City Hall, reports The New York Times.

However, in order for a child of a city employee to intern for the city, they must first be granted a waiver from the Conflicts of Interest Board.
