E3 Summer Youth Program

During the Summer months, we offer a program called E3 (Experience, Education, Employment) for incoming high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates. Youth can earn wages during a paid internship, as well as earn up to 10 high school elective credits for participating in the program. Find us on Facebook @E3SummerYouth.
