Summer 2010
By Renee Hill | Communications Specialist
As summer comes to a close and students go back to school we can look back over the last few months. Several of our students participated in the DC Summer Youth Employment Program and worked in different internships around the city. The DC Summer Youth Employment Program places students in jobs all over DC in varying fields such as Arts, Design and Media; Building and Grounds Maintenance; Government; Community and Social Services; Construction Trades; Education, Training and Library Science; Health Care Support; Hospitality and Tourism; Office and Administration Support; and Sports and Physical Education.
We look forward to the 2010-2011 school year and all that we can accomplish this year!
