Become a Youth Council intern and make your mark on the Cape!

The MassHire Cape & Islands Workforce Board (CIWB) Youth Council is a collaboration among business and educational professionals, local government, and community leaders that aim to provide all young adults with the opportunity to become productive members of the community. The Youth Council envisions a community where all young adults are successful in school, work, and life.

Youth Council interns have the opportunity to volunteer in the community, assist in CIWB events and program implementation, and most importantly build a network on Cape Cod and the Islands. Interns become a part of the CIWB team as they learn to strengthen and enhance their employability and career readiness skills.
