Join Learn to Earn this Summer!

Learn to Earn (LTE) is a fun and active program for youth ages 12-16. Youth engage in interactive workshops and activities that prepare them for real-world situations both in life and at work.

Youth who complete LTE programming gain an understanding of team dynamics, goal-setting, community engagement/advocacy, emotional self-regulation, and basic financial literacy.

Both sessions pay a separate stipend to the youth. Applicants can sign up for either one or both of the sessions with this one application. Applicants must live within the following boundaries: the River on the North and East, Nebraska Avenue on the South to 18th Street, then Minnesota Avenue to i-635 on the West.
