S500
also provides workshops on soft skills, job readiness, career exploration,
financial literacy, and opportunities to continue education and social growth. This program is a public-private sponsorship teaming local Savannah youth
with private, public, and non-profit employers. Youth
can apply for the program online, now through March 31, 2019. Eligible
participants will be selected and an effort will be made to match youth with an
employer in their designated educational pathway. If
you’re 16+ years old, this is your opportunity to get real-world work
experience and make some money in the process. Application: http://www.savannahga.gov/FormCenter/Summer-500-18/2019-Summer-500-Student-Registration-For-246
