Applications will open on April 1 for both internship seekers and worksites providers.

The six-week program runs from June 3 through July 26. DeKalb residents ages 14 to 24 are invited to apply for the program at www.dekalbcountyga.gov/intern once the link goes live on April 1. Interns will be paid $10 per hour.

Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
