The city of Phoenix is seeking high school juniors and seniors to participate in the Jerome E. Miller (JEM) Leadership Academy this summer.
The JEM academy is a two-week experience that was implemented in the spirit of the late Jerome E. Miller, former Phoenix Deputy City Manager.
The JEM academy will provide approximately 20 high school juniors and seniors with exposure to careers in public service, fuel and diversify the pipeline for public service, and prepare students for college, career and life success.
The program will require a two-week commitment from June 10 - 21, with various activities each day. Activities include tours of various city departments, sites, a three-day course at South Mountain Community College in leadership and advocacy, while earning college credit.
Participants will also be introduced to a mentor who is a city of Phoenix employee to gain knowledge and insight to the various duties and responsibilities of a city employee.
In addition to youth participants, the city is seeking city leaders to volunteer to mentor these youth. Mentoring will only require a one-day commitment on June 21.
