Summer Youth Program
The Summer Youth Program employs Keene residents who are at least 14 years of age – but not yet 16 years as of June 1, 2025, for an introductory employment experience. This program teaches time management, how the City operates, leadership development, and more. The best part is that they get paid!
Youth work in various departments throughout the city part time for 5-6 weeks during the summer (end of June, July and beginning of August).
Any questions about Summer Youth Program please call Youth services at (603) 357-9811 or email abender@keenenh.gov
