SummerWorks Program
Each year, the program works with dozens of local businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and local community organizations to connect young job seekers with summer employment opportunities. We serve youth ages 16-21 and provide them with training to help them seek out, obtain, and maintain a job. For our Sponsored sites we also provide follow-up support while they’re working. Our staff works directly with employers to identify a business’s needs and use the information to help employers connect with
great candidates.
