SAN FRANCISCO, March 14, 2023 ~ High school students in the Bay Area are invited to apply for the Norman Mineta Bay Area Summer Academy, a four-week paid internship with MTC, ABAG, BCDC and the Air District. The program will begin on July 6th, 2023 and will provide students with an opportunity to learn about how regional agencies address issues such as environmental justice, housing and transportation equity and community health.
The Bay Area Summer Academy is designed to give students an insight into how regional governments work and how they can help advance equity across the Bay Area. Most of the sessions will be conducted online, with the final session taking place in person at the regional agencies' headquarters in San Francisco. During weekly seminars, students will learn about what regional agencies do and the skills needed for a career in public service. They will also be taught how to weigh in on decisions that impact air quality, neighborhoods, transportation and other factors that shape community health.
