This year the City of Chicago has thousands of opportunities available for young people ages 14-24, with opportunities in the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Young people can apply at www.onesummerchicago.org up until the June 2nd deadline.
The Summer Youth Employment Program provides employment and internship opportunities for 16 to 24 year-olds, earning $15.40 an hour while working with partners like the Chicago Park District, the Lincoln Park Zoo, and Lurie’s Children’s Hospital.
For our 14–15-year-olds who are not quite old enough to work, the Chicagobility program helps young people explore career pathways, participate in project-based learning and field trips, and earn a $450 stipend for the summer.
