Teens learn real-world skills in the summer workforce program.
High school teens looking for job readiness can get the training through the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City.
The Summer Vibes Workforce Camp will offer local students grades nine through 12 youth career training, weekly field trips and activities to prepare them for success in the working world.
The program is funded by a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant.
The camp is designed to help teens build essential skills for future success, including work readiness, communication and teamwork. It will give teens hands-on experience in a supportive environment while fostering a sense of responsibility and community.
“This program is a fantastic opportunity for our local teens to gain practical work experience, improve their job readiness, and have fun while doing it," said Workforce Director Apreyah Parks. “We are proud to offer this summer camp as a way to invest in the future of Atlantic City’s youth, giving them the tools and experiences they need to succeed in both the workforce and life.”
The program will be held at the Teen Center, 317 N. Pennsylvania Ave.,
An essential part of the program is a required information session for both parents and teens to learn about the camp, program expectations and necessary documentation such as work permits.
These sessions will provide detailed information about the camp and allow parents and teens to ask questions directly to the camp staff.
Information sessions will be held on the following Saturdays:
