Summer Youth Work Program
The City, with the help from Junior Achievement of the Eastern Shore and the Wicomico Board of Education, provide an 8-week employment opportunity which includes structured learning and mentoring designed to give teens the skills and knowledge they need to succeed and thrive post-graduation. Volunteers from JA will work with the participants to ensure optimal on-the-job performance, and will counsel the participants on resume and soft skill development. By the end of the program, participants will have established work experience history, learned valuable job skills, cultivated the knowledge necessary for future career growth, and gained access to business resources in and around the City.
