Project GENESIS Summer Employment Program The beginning of Passion, Innovation, & Future Workforce.
The Project GENESIS Program serves as an inaugural engagement opportunity for young individuals in our community. Tailored for adolescents aged 14 to 18, the program spans four weeks throughout the month of July each year. Participants are eligible to earn $15 per hour through compensated internships.
Following a comprehensive orientation training session, encompassing crucial topics such as Safety, Workplace Etiquette, and Fundamental Financial Literacy, participants will collaborate with industry professionals from various companies within the central Ohio region, including Trades of Faith Inc. Throughout the four-week duration, youth will benefit from personalized 1-on-1 guidance and group coaching sessions, while concurrently gaining hands-on experience through job shadowing on authentic worksites. Our program culminates with a dedicated community service day, “Street Sweep!” reinforcing the values of our responsibility to the community and boost social engagement.
Sponsored by the City of Columbus Recreation & Parks through Mayor Andrew J. Ginther’s efforts to support youth during the Summer, this initiative aims to provide invaluable experiences and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
