Heading
Applicants not selected for the summer cohort will have access to other resources through the Mayor’s Youth Workforce Experience. The MYWE program is made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Mayor's Office, EmployBR, and Big Buddy Program. Scholars will engage in career exploration, develop social emotional skills, join with their peers in civic and leadership projects, and connect to positive role models who will help ensure they successfully complete the program. There is limited space in the summer cohort, so please read all the requirements carefully and fully complete the application. Final decisions will be emailed to you on May 21, 2024. “The Mayor's Youth Workforce Experience creates a pathway to success by providing young adults with a chance to discover interests, build skills, and explore careers through experiences that can serve as the foundation for educational and professional success.” — Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome
