Program open to Somerville youth ages 16 and older. Employment opportunities available in City departments and with local business partners.

Attention Somerville Youth! The Mayor’s Summer Jobs Program will be accepting applications for summer 2018 starting Monday, April 2. Through the annual program, more than 100 Somerville teens will be placed within city departments as well as with private business partners in Somerville. Eligible students must be Somerville residents, enrolled in high school, and at least 16 years of age. Limited opportunities are available for youth that are at least 15 years of age with the Department of Recreation.

Applications are due Friday, April 20, at 12:30 p.m., and can be picked up at the Personnel Department in City Hall, 93 Highland Ave. Due to high demand late applications will not be accepted. Completed applications should also be submitted to the Personnel Department.

Interviews for all applicants will be April 30 through May 4, and selected youth must complete an orientation prior to the beginning of the program. Summer jobs require approximately 20 hours per week, though actual schedules will vary by employer.
