Application Process

2026 applications now open!

If you are a young adult aged 16-24* who is living and/or attending school in Washtenaw County, we hope you will apply!

To be considered for program acceptance, each young adult must submit an application. Submitting multiple applications does not increase the likelihood of program acceptance.

* You must turn 16 by June 1 in any given programming year to be eligible for the program.

 

Application Logistics:

To apply for SummerWorks, you will need:

  • Reliable contact information

  • Your parent/guardian's contact information

  • Approximate annual household income

  • Possible summer conflicts

  • Valid forms of identification I-9 required documents [see list of acceptable I-9 documents here]
