Special to The Advocate

On Friday, Aug. 23, the City of Everett hosted a barbecue at the Recreation Center for all youth workers who participated in Mayor DeMaria’s Summer Work Program. On the program’s final day, participants could participate in a game of kickball. Those in attendance were presented certificates of completion in recognition of the work they have done throughout the community this summer.

“The Summer Work Program has always remained important to me because it provides our city’s youth with the opportunity to gain experience and earn money while learning about fiscal and workplace responsibility at a young age,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “I’d like to thank the members of my team and everyone who participated to make this another successful summer.”

For more than 25 years, the Summer Work Program has been helping the City’s youth build their resumes and provide an opportunity to learn what it’s like to enter the workforce. Those who participate are offered a variety of different job placements that are located throughout Everett and neighboring cities, including employment with various community organizations, businesses and City of Everett departments.
