As we prepare for the summer session, we at CAYIP remain immensely grateful for the investors, believers, and doers who help make meaningful job opportunities possible for teens in our community. While the journey to finding the right summer job can feel uncertain at times, teens remain hopeful — and so do we!

Stay encouraged. The right opportunity will come at the right time. In the meantime, don’t forget to look within yourself and explore what you can create, build, and make happen.

We love seeing entrepreneurship and innovation highlighted in our youth!

And remember — site recruitment never truly ends, because our young people are always waiting for their next adventure, opportunity, and chance to grow.

This may be the worst summer for teen jobs in history.
