  summer partnership
“This is not your average internship!”

Each summer, area businesses partner with YEK to provide unique on-the-job learning experiences for alumni of the YEK program. Similar to an internship, the partnerships provide opportunities to gain insight into the various industries involved and network with leadership of parner companies. Each partnership is different, and therefore the activities and time commitments vary.

All YEK Alumni are eligible to apply for the summer partnership program until they reach age 22.
