YEP INTERNSHIPS
Watertown Family YMCA is proud to offer the Youth Empowerment Program (YEP), a 6-week internship program designed to provide youth ages 14-21 years with valuable hands-on learning opportunities throughout the year. Participants gain real-world experience in a supportive, professional environment while developing important workplace and leadership skills such as communication, teamwork, responsibility, and problem-solving.
Interns have the opportunity to explore career pathways, build confidence, and make meaningful connections while contributing to programs and services that strengthen our community. The YEP internship is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to grow personally and professionally while gaining practical experience in a mission-driven organization.
