INTERNSHIPS

City Youth Now's Internship Program is designed to prepare youth for employment in a well-supervised and supportive environment. The Internship Program introduces participants to the world of work, allowing youth to gain the self-confidence, career awareness, financial literacy, and interpersonal competencies needed to succeed in the long term. City Youth Now is committed to assisting youth in making a successful transition to healthy adulthood and economic independence.

The Internship Program is designed with maximum flexibility for youth and probation officers to find appropriate placements to meet individual needs. City Youth Now pays youth a limited stipend during their internship with a local business or community organization. A supervising adult agrees to mentor the youth; provide supervision and additional support; and, when possible, help them to find permanent employment. At the end of the program, the youth are required to submit a resume, a cover letter, a letter of recommendation from their supervisor and participate in a mock interview at our office.

To enroll your youth in the internship program, please review the eligibility requirements and submit the application form.
