STEPS Study

🔔Great opportunity for young people ages 14-21!!🔔 Our valued community partners at CitiParks - Pittsburgh Parks & Recreation and Partner4Work are hosting an in-person application support session at the Warrington Rec Center for the Summer Learn & Earn Program. Learn & Earn, a summer youth employment program delivered by Allegheny County, the City of Pittsburgh, and Partner4Work, aims to set young people on the path to a successful future through a 6-week, paid summer employment program. Young people spend at least 20 hours per week at a worksite and also receive professional development coaching in soft skills.
Come say hi to the STEPS team at the event as well! We'll be set up at the event to let prospective families know about our study, help out in any way needed, and also hand out some merch ;) .
Youth can also submit their application for employment by visiting www.jobs4summer.org.
