Elesha Dye can’t say enough good things about the Raleigh Summer Youth Employment Program. That’s pretty impressive considering she took part in the program more than 25 years ago!
The Raleigh mom and healthcare worker believes the program sets up teenagers for success in the work world. That’s why she encouraged her 15-year-old daughter, Tiffany, to apply for the program.
Tiffany just wrapped up the 8-week summer session.
“It shaped me in a lot of ways. I got to do stuff I’d never done before. I met professionals who give advice which was helpful,” Tiffany said. “I really enjoyed it.”
