• Internship Pathways Program is Seeking Partnerships

    The Internship Pathways is a career-based learning program where high school youth gain hands-on introductory work experience at a local non-profit organization or government agency. Internships are typically unpaid structured volunteer experiences and do not lead to employment at the end of the internship.

    A student learns job specific skills, build their resume, and explore a career path.
    In addition, after logging 30 hours at the internship site and completing career-based assignments a student earns .5 elective high school credit.
