Mayor's Youth Workforce Experience (MYWE)
The MYWE Summer Session is an 8-week career awareness and
internship program designed to create pathways to success for high
school youth (called Scholars). Scholars will gain transferable skills,
explore career interests, build social and emotional skills, and achieve
Work Ready skills and competencies which will enhance their foundation
for educational and professional success. Upon completing the program,
Scholars will be certified as Work Ready Youth.

What is a Host Site?
A Host Site agrees to allow a high school Intern to work at their place of business for 8-weeks. The Host Site must appoint a WorkPlace Mentor - someone for that a Scholar can call on if they need help while at the workplace. There is NO financial obligation to be a Host Site.

MYWE is based on the researched informed model created by Big Buddy Program called, Level-UP!.
