Applications for Pima County’s Summer Youth Employment Program

are open!

Over the past few years, the City of Tucson contracted with the county to incorporate additional youth into the existing summer internship program model by adding jobs with city departments. This has been a push by Council Member Santa Cruz who believes in the importance of investing in youth and preparing the next generation for potential careers in city government. Last year, 103 youth worked in the City of Tucson, including Mayor Romero’s Office, human resources, finance, Tucson Water, and our office!

Meet the Million Girl Moonshot 2024 Flight Crew!

The Flight Crew features remarkable youth from across the country. Motivated by their impactful STEM experiences beyond the classroom, these young leaders are currently working in their communities to break down stereotypes and spark their peers' curiosity in STEM. 



This talented cadre of youth embodies the Moonshot mission and they are committed to using afterschool and STEM learning to build a better future where young girls everywhere can envision a place for them in STEM. The Flight Crew will amplify youth voices in the national conversation around STEM equity as we work toward a future where every young girl can imagine themselves as a future engineer, builder or inventor.

What does it take to run a high-quality summer program that young people want to attend? Communities in Woodward, Oklahoma, and Akron, Ohio, are working to find out.
