Fort Worth's NextGen Ambassador Program is again opening doors for the city's youth, offering an insider's look at local government workings. Young individuals, ages 17 to 22, looking for a summer gig that pays and educates, can now apply for the 2025 session.
The program, detailed by an announcement on the official City of Fort Worth website, is set for an eight-week run from June 2 to July 25. Participants can expect up to 20 hours per week of paid employment, digging into the nitty-gritty of public service and learning what makes a city tick. The emphasis is on skill development and professional growth, with a series of career exploration opportunities squarely in the mix.
Fort Worth is cultivating its next generation of civic leaders by mixing employment with education. The NextGen Ambassador Program doesn't just provide a job; it delivers weekly professional development. With sessions spanning a range of essential topics, these young ambassadors will be primed to take on responsibilities in local government or affiliated professions.
Those interested in joining the 2025 cohort have until April 7 to submit their application online. It’s a chance not just to earn but to learn about the inner workings of the municipal machine, the challenges faced by public servants, and the potential solutions they can contribute to. For more details or questions, youth are encouraged to reach out via the contact details provided on the city’s announcement page.
