Chicago teens ages 14 to 18 can apply now for the fall programs that start this week. Teens will be paid for their participation.
Thousands of spots are available this summer through After School Matters. The programs begin July 5 and will be held across the city.
There are nearly 8,000 slots available in more than 400 remote and in-person programs. The 11-week spring session begins this week. Most programs will continue to take place remotely, but a variety of safe, in-person opportunities for teens will be offered in some locations and in partnership with community-based organizations.
Austin teen Tyshaun Zollicoffer, who’s in the After School Matters art program, is inspiring others with his creativity. Zollicoffer, president of Senn High School’s Black Student Union, plans to attend college in New York City.
Slots are available for approximately 8,000 young people to participate in the after-school program that begins the week of March 8. The programs will be offered remotely, as they have been since last summer. Teens will earn a stipend between $90 and $250 depending on the length and level of expertise required for the program.
Students can apply for more than 400 programs in the arts, communication, leadership, sports and STEM that begin the week of July 6. Teens will earn a stipend between $336 and $850 depending on the length and level of expertise required for the program.
The programs – which begin June 24th – are free and open to Chicago high school students who are at least 14 years old (16 years old for internships). In total, about 13,000 paid apprenticeship and internship opportunities will be available. Participating teen apprentices will be eligible to earn a stipend of up to $420 depending on the program level; interns can earn up to $10.50 per hour.
After School Matters is accepting applications for its spring 2019 programs, which begin the week of Feb. 12.
Some programs started this week, so Chicago high school students should apply as soon as possible for the more than 7,000 paid apprenticeship and internship opportunities across the city, including a number in Austin.
There are 12,000 slots available for Chicago teens to work an apprenticeship or internship through the program started by Maggie Daley.
