Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach, CA - The City of Long Beach is taking a proactive approach to addressing the issue of youth unemployment and lack of educational opportunities by launching an innovative program in partnership with local Space Beach employers and educational institutions. The program, called Space Beach Camp, aims to provide an immersive and socially engaging experience for approximately 30 opportunity youth, or young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are not currently working or in school.
According to Mayor Rex Richardson, "Our young people are the future of Space Beach, and this camp provides participants with an exciting opportunity to explore career pathways in the transformative aerospace industry here in Long Beach." The city is proud to collaborate with aerospace and educational partners to offer this inclusive and dynamic program for young adults in the community.
Facilitated by the City's youth employment center, Future LB, Space Beach Camp is a free three-week program that offers hands-on opportunities for participants to explore advanced education and careers in the aerospace sector. The comprehensive program includes one-on-one informational sessions, a guest speaker series, workplace tours, field trips, coaching opportunities, career days, and networking events.
