Host a Summer Intern!
Long Beach CaLL’s Summer 2019 Internship Program connects Long Beach students to internships at businesses in Long Beach and surrounding areas. The goal of the program is to help young students (16-18 years old) from diverse backgrounds develop personal and professional skills that contribute to their success in the workforce.
Internships are work-based learning experiences with direct supervision and evaluation by an adult in the workplace. Internships deepen the understanding of the environment, expectations, and requirements of the workplace. Long Beach CaLL’s Summer Internship Program is a minimum of 60 hours, 120 preferred, over a minimum of 6 weeks, approximately June 17 – August 24.
While the benefits for students who participate in the program include gaining valuable work experience, exploration of career fields, achieving a sense of accomplishment and earning an hourly wage or a stipend, participating businesses also enjoy many benefits, including:
- Additional staff support through assigning special projects and tasks to youth
- Bringing unique skills and talents, especially in our technology-based world
- Adding energy and new ideas to your workplace
- Providing a management opportunity to paid staff members
- Meeting your organization’s commitment of giving back to the community through mentoring young people

Long Beach CaLL Guest Speakers
|
In addition to our Summer Internship Program, Long Beach CaLL assists educators throughout the academic year in finding guest speakers for their students. Guests speakers support students’ career awareness – helping students better understand the wide array of careers within a field, and what type of education and training is needed to enter and advance in an industry. Since September 2018, CaLL has provided guest speakers to 170 middle and high school students.
Two guest speakers from Long Beach Memorial Medical Center,
Jennifer Martinez-Sammon
and
Wylen Won
talked to students at Poly and Wilson high schools about their respective professions as a Certified Pediatric Nurse and Clinical Laboratory Scientist. Two other guest speakers,
Ron Arias,
retired Director of our city’s Health Department and
Irene Quevedo
, Executive Director at Operation Jump Start, shared their personal journeys with middle school students at Jefferson Leadership Academy. Ron and Irene’s message? “Believe in yourself, work hard, and you can overcome obstacles like we did.” On a very practical level, another CaLL speaker,
Lamonte Lee
, Vice President at Farmers & Merchants Bank, spoke to students at the Poly Academy of Achievers and Leaders (PAAL) about financial literacy, including how credit and debit cards work.
Most recently,
William Bater
, Environmental Analyst with Wells Fargo, spoke to Geoscience students at Wilson High School about how geology impacts local areas, including right here in Long Beach.
We would like to thank all our guest speakers for volunteering their time to talk about their careers, personal journeys, job duties/responsibilities, and the skills and education necessary to succeed in their fields of interest. These volunteers are part of the "village" it takes to raise good kids!
