NLC Hosts Youth Summer Interns

The interns have been placed in 18 departments and will work 20 hours a week for six weeks, earning $7.25 hr. In addition to gaining valuable hands-on work experience, the interns also participate in weekly professional development workshops. The program is open to youth between the ages of 14-17 who live within city council districts 1-10.
