Ladders for Leaders Summer Internship Program

Ladders for Leaders is an organization that serves to bridge the gap between high school students and career exploration through internships and occupational experience. Over the years through their internship program, they have connected over 200 interns to local companies helping to provide local students with invaluable work experience.  Ladders for Leaders is currently looking for local employers to partner with to provide internship experiences in the summer of 2025 for high school students between the ages of 16-18.

The 2025 program will run from June 19, 2025 – July 18, 2025. Ladders for Leaders prepares students to be great employees by requiring all interns to participate in their Ladders for Leaders University sessions and pre-employment job training.  Students will learn how to obtain employment, conduct themselves in a professional manner, value time commitments, and develop workplace skills. Ladders for Leaders also helps to conduct the interviews between students and employers or allows the business partners the option to interview and make the final decisions for the internship program. Lastly, in order to provide additional assistance for the business, Ladders for Leaders will provide a board member liaison to the business and the intern throughout the duration of the internship to work through any issues and to help maximize this opportunity for everyone.

Below are some additional details regarding the internship:

• Interns will work 20 hours/week through the length of the program
• Students receive 10 hours of professional training & go through a rigorous application process prior to being placed
• Business Partners sponsor students at $400/week throughout their internship ($2,400 covers student’s wages & program costs)
