As the United States Independence Day celebration approaches, and summer vacation begins, the youth start to think about what this country has to offer. You may be young, but maybe picking up a summer internship or job could ease your transition into adulthood. Research some companies you see yourself working with, and find out their application requirements. Getting your foot in the door early will allow you to expand your experience and skills. Plus, you’ll have a killer resume compared to others your age. Join the Youth Channel this week with special programming about activism, college sports, and finding the right college.

The Youth Channel airs programming every weeknight from 6-7pm on MNN4 (FiOS 36, RCN 85, Spectrum 67 & 1998) and MNNHD (Spectrum 1993). To learn about MNN’s Youth Media Center and the work they produce, click here.
