SummerWorks is a locally funded public/private partnership that supports youth through their first work experience. The program is sponsored by Worksystems, City of Portland, Multnomah County, Washington County, City of Beaverton, TriMet, Portland Public Schools, Hillsboro School District, DHS, and private businesses that provides area youth ages 16 to 24 with enriching and constructive summer work experiences in the private, not for profit and government sectors.
Though SummerWorks is a short-term employment and training program, our goal is to introduce our youth to employers who will positively impact their futures. Employers in the Multnomah and Washington County area make this annual program possible by sponsoring wages and providing structured job opportunities for youth during the summer.
