Throughout the program, we invite guest speakers to provide insights into various industries and share their professional experiences. Our participants also have access to employment opportunities and are introduced to various job openings that align with their interests and goals.
We understand the importance of soft skills in the workforce, which is why we emphasize their development during the program. Our team works closely with students to enhance their communication skills, teamwork, leadership, time management, and problem-solving skills.
The program also focuses on workplace development and life skills training, which includes resume writing, job search strategies, financial literacy, and other essential skills that prepare students for their future careers.
In addition, our program offers enrichment trips that provide participants with an opportunity to experience different career paths and gain exposure to various industries. These trips help students explore different career options and give them a better understanding of what it takes to succeed in different professions.
The Summer Youth Employment Program is an excellent opportunity for high school students to develop their professional skills, gain real-world work experience, and explore different career paths. By emphasizing the development of soft skills, workplace development, and life skills training, we prepare our participants for their future careers and help them achieve their goals.
Key Program Components Include:
Employers can partner with the Summer Youth Employment Program by employing a youth participant for a 6-week internship. You will be helping to prepare youth for the workforce, and in the process, your company will have a dedicated and trained youth intern for 6 weeks, and will benefit from youth perspective and social media expertise. Financial assistance may be available for 501c(3) organizations to cover summer internship costs.
We could not do this work without the support from our generous funders. Over the years, these supporters ensured that we are able to continue youth summer programming.
If you would like to sponsor a youth, please make a donation directly to the Millhill Foundation by clicking on the “Donate Now” button below. The Millhill Foundation is a separate 501c(3) organization established in 2002. Thank you!
