Catholic Social Services provides two levels of opportunity for our summer programming. For younger applicants (rising middle school youth) we have an Career Exploration program. This is hosted at our St. Hubert's Highschool Location. For older and returning applicants; we partner with various work experiences throughout the city. Most positions will require clearances and be focused on supporting summer camp programs. Other positions range from small businesses to IT departments.

Our program teaches youth the technical skills to build websites using HTML and CSS and other concepts relevant to the tech and innovation industries (problem identification, the development pipeline, user interface design, and user experience design) that allow students to consider and explore their professional futures. Through a combination of live and self–paced learning, youth will learn technical & entrepreneurial skills, receive feedback on their work, and build relationships with peers.

​Working for Success is a program designed to help young people achieve their dream careers. We ask our young people what they want to be when they grow up, and we do everything in our power to give them an internship within that career field. We have a 90% placement in the top two career choices of our young people. We hope to not only expose our young people to careers and opportunities that fit within their dream, but to nurture and support their passion into a vision and a path to get there
