Parents, guardians, grandparents, mentors, coaches, neighbors, and anyone who loves a teen: this is one of those moments to grab a megaphone and pass the news along. There are powerful opportunities right now for young people in the District to earn, learn, and build a future that starts this summer and stretches far beyond it.

Key Opportunities
Summer Youth Employment Program (ages 14–24): Paid summer work and career exposure.
Career Ready Early Scholars (ages 9–13): Early career exploration and summer learning.
Training & Apprenticeships (ages 16–24): Hands-on pathways in IT, trades, healthcare, culinary arts, and more—with opportunities to earn while learning.
📣 Why We Need to Share This
Every teen deserves a chance to grow into their gifts. Sometimes the only thing standing between a young person and a life-shaping opportunity is someone who simply says:
“Hey, I saw this and thought of you.”
So let’s be that someone.
Text it to a parent
Share it in group chats
Send it to grandparents
Mention it at church, school, or practice
Post it on social media
Tell the teen sitting at your kitchen table
Opportunities like these can shape confidence, direction, and purpose.
🧭 Take the Next Step
If you know a teen in D.C., now is the time to explore applications, deadlines, and program options together. Sit down, look through the resource guide, and talk about what sparks their interest.
Because sometimes the path to a future career begins with one summer, one application, one caring adult who passed along the information.
Let’s spread the word far and wide. The next generation is ready.
