Grow Detroit’s Young Talent (GDYT) kicked off today, and it will help provide 8,000 young Detroiters between the ages of 14 and 24 with jobs this summer.
This program is in its 10th year and has already helped more than 70,000 youth in Detroit.
The application portal opened today and will stay open until May 31, 2024. It is open to youth who wish to participate as well as to Metro #Detroit businesses looking to host young people this summer.
“When we launched GDYT in 2015, we knew there was a need for a centrally coordinated approach to bring all the various summer employment opportunities together, so our young people could more easily access them,” said Mayor Mike Duggan. “This is our 10th year and we are so appreciative of all of our funding partners and employment partners that have helped make GDYT a national model for summer youth employment programs.”
