Summer Youth Employment

Our Summer Youth Employment Program is open to individuals ages 14–24. As a lead agency for the GDYT (Grow Detroit’s Young Talent) program, Developing K.I.D.S. will employ up to 180 youth this summer.

Participants begin with a week-long Work Readiness Training in June to prepare for their roles. Once the program begins, they take part in weekly workforce development sessions, gaining skills and experience throughout the summer. The program concludes with a celebratory team retreat to recognize their growth and accomplishments.

If you’re interested in summer employment with Developing K.I.D.S, we encourage you to apply through the GDYT and use our referral code C1032. Applications are open for summer 2025 and close May 15.
