“The Summer Work Program has always remained important to me because it provides our city’s youth with the opportunity to gain experience and earn money while learning about fiscal and workplace responsibility at a young age,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “I’d like to thank the members of my team and everyone who participated to make this another successful summer.”
For more than 25 years, the Summer Work Program has been helping the City’s youth build their resumes and provide an opportunity to learn what it’s like to enter the workforce. Those who participate are offered a variety of different job placements that are located throughout Everett and neighboring cities that include employment with various community organizations, businesses and City of Everett departments.
