Mayor accepts $25K donation from Greystar for Summer Youth Jobs Program

  Mayor Carlo DeMaria recently met with Greystar representatives Ryan Souls and Christina Audet. The company donated $25,000 for this year’s Summer Youth Jobs Program. The program provides job experience for those entering the workforce.

  Greystar’s donation supports the Summer Youth Jobs Program that not only employs so many of Everett’s youths, but provides them with many of the skills necessary to obtain permanent employment later. At the same time, all Everett residents benefit from the community improvement projects that the youngsters undertake. For example, last summer youths cleaned up many neighborhood parks and improved areas around Everett, and many learned valuable skills while working at many municipal locations, including DPW, Human Resources and the Mayor’s Office.

  Mayor DeMaria considers the Summer Youth Jobs Program to be an essential opportunity for youths who are seeking employment during the summer or prior to going off to college. “We are so fortunate for Greystar’s donation to our Summer Youth Jobs Program,” said Mayor DeMaria, “I’d like to thank them for their commitment to the City and in helping our youth gain valuable work experience.”

  Everett residents ages 14 to 25 interested in participating in this year’s Summer Youth Jobs Program can apply by visiting afterschoolhq.com/cityofeverett. Applicants will be able to view all of the positions available, what days of the week the position will require them to be available, the age range for each job and more details about each position. Completed applications must be submitted by Saturday, May 20.

  Job placements are located throughout Everett. Job locations include various community organizations, businesses and departments within the City of Everett. The program will run from July to the end of August.
