The City of Coral Springs is among several Broward County employers creating a more inclusive work environment and hosting paid summer internships for participants of Youth Links. Youth Links is part of Arc Broward’s continuum of services that provide transformative opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Each year, the City hosts 4-5 Arc Broward teens and young adults for a summer internship. Alongside their Arc Broward job coach and a city intern, students gain valuable experience by helping with tasks citywide. The Arc Broward students contribute to the community through assignments such as landscape beautification, internal mail distribution, and the washing of police and fire vehicles.
The goal is to provide an inclusive workplace in each department of the City where the students can participate and have a fulfilling summer.
