Hawthorne Businesses Have A Chance To Step Up!

Applications are now being distributed for the Minneapolis STEP-UP Program for kids aged 14 to 21!

If you’re a business interested in helping this program and participating, there is still time to apply and give Minneapolis youth an outstanding opportunity at your workplace.

STEP-UP is a paid, summer jobs program for Minneapolis youth. There are two versions:

STEP-UP for 14-15-year-olds, operated by the Minneapolis Employment and Training Program, teaches students good work habits and provides them with wages and an opportunity to contribute to a local community based organization.

STEP-UP for 16-21-year-olds, operated by Achieve!Minneapolis, provides youth with paid positions with local employers and teaches them the skills they need to succeed on the job. Many Hawthorne businesses already participate!
