Yesterday, we celebrated the incredible students who participated in the Office of Youth Opportuinities (OYO) Career Experiences and all they accomplished throughout the summer.

From internships and career exploration to mentorship and hands-on learning, these young people stepped outside their comfort zones, built new skills and gained valuable real-world experience through programs like the Mayor's Youth Employment Program, Envision Academy, Gov 101, A Seat at the Table and Youth in Green Spaces.

Thank you to our mentors, host employers and community partners who invested their time and shared their knowledge to help shape the next generation of leaders.

Congratulations to all of our interns on a successful summer—we can't wait to see what's next!
