SummerWorks matches youth 16-21 with quality work opportunities and connects them to the resources they need to be successful. There are several ways you or your organization can support this mission.
Donate
A 2019 study by the Kentucky Center for Statistics found that youth who are able to participate in SummerWorks are more likely to graduate from high school, enroll in college, and find employment after. Your donation helps provide a job - and a potentially life-changing experience - for a young person (or many young people).
Hire through summerworks
From industry-leading corporations to neighborhood businesses, organizations of all size have been hiring SummerWorks youth since 2011. More than 90% of employers who hire young adults through SummerWorks report that they would recommend it to other organizations.
HELP REGISTER YOUTH
Encourage teens and young adults (age 16 to 21 years on June 1st, 2020) to register for SummerWorks. In addition to being connected to employers hiring this summer, youth who register will be connected with resources to help them prepare for college and career.
