The program helps youth prepare for the workforce by connecting them to part-time employment and internship opportunities, strengthening the vital connection between classroom and work-based learning experiences. The summer program component has been a staple of the New Haven community for over 20 years and more than 30,000 youth have enjoyed a summer work-based learning experience, since the inception of the program. |

Youth that receive a summer job receive additional and ongoing support and assistance including: Training and Orientation, Workplace Literacy, Financial Literacy, and comprehensive Evaluation and Assessment. Job placements offer students a wide range of experiences and include Yale-New Haven Hospital, UBS Financial Services, Inc., Yale School of Architecture, Amistad America, Schooner, Inc., the Boys & Girls Club and many more. |
