With the increase in minimum wage it is harder than ever for young people to compete with adults for summer employment opportunities.

A summer job can help youth to earn money for college or that first car, explore fields of interest, and learn valuable life skills to help them build a bright future.
This program enables youth to participate in valuable paid work experiences and educational workshops.
