Student WEB CORPS is a “summer work experience” for in-school students, ages 14-17 years old. This program is designed to strengthen students’ web development, project management and professionalism skills and to apply those skills in the authentic task of building a website for a small business, organization or cause. Students work 25/hours each week and earn an hourly salary. Eligible students apply to participate in the program and are assigned to one of the Student WEB CORPS worksites. Each cohort (up to 25 student-employees) is supported by two Worksite Supervisors/Instructors and a Site Coordinator.
