Last year, the City of Racine, On the lake employed 39 youth in the Youth Employment Program, an initiative run by our Youth Employment Officer, Kischa Buford.
Each of the youth worked for a city department, learning about their government and what it means to serve the public.
This morning, our senior leadership heard about plans for the second year of this important program. I can't wait to work with the ambitious, civically minded young people who apply this summer.
Stay tuned to our page when the application is released. ... See MoreSee Less
