French-speaking culture exhibit set

City launches internship drive

NASHUA – Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess recently announce the city of Nashua’s inaugural Youth Summer Internship Program.

The six-week program is a collaboration between the Nashua School District, the city’s Economic Development Division and Donchess’ My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge initiative.

Thirteen paid internships will be available within city departments during the summer for Nashua high schoolers entering their senior year. There will be a variety of opportunities, including a support position for the Arlington Street Community Center, an engineering internship for the Division of Public Works and groundskeeper internships for the Parks and Recreation Department.

Students who apply must provide two references from a teacher, coach or other non-related adult. Qualified candidates must be able to work a minimum of 20 hours per week between July 9 and Aug. 10. As city interns, the students will be able to access free bus passes to commute to and from work.

Donchess said the program will help Nashua students develop important jobs skills, while also developing the city’s future skilled workforce.

“We want all of our young people to succeed and to contribute to Nashua’s economy,” Donchess said.

Applications will be accepted until March 23, and can be accessed at www.nashuanh.gov/1190/Summer-Youth-Internship-Program. Students also can pick up applications at the main offices of Nashua High School North or South.
