Summary

The City of Gary opened applications for a summer youth job program that places local high school sophomores and juniors in city departments for paid work; students must apply through their school's guidance house before May 19.

The City of Gary announced that applications for its summer youth job program are open to current high school sophomores and juniors who live in Gary.

A city representative said the program gives Gary students the opportunity to work inside city departments, gain hands‑on knowledge and get paid while learning. Placements aim to expose students to communications, administrative and public‑service roles and to open career pathways.

Students interested in receiving a real work experience this summer were instructed to "talk to your school's guidance house before May 19th to apply," the announcement said. The city emphasized that the program is intended to build confidence and provide exposure students might not otherwise receive.

Officials did not provide more detailed eligibility criteria or the total number of positions available during the remarks; students should contact their school guidance office or the city's youth services for application details.
