Happy Spring Break!
SPRING BREAK IS HERE! WOOT WOOT!
We know the weather may not be what you had in mind for spring break, but we hope that doesn't stop you from going on wonderful adventures. Or hanging out inside where it's warm. With friends. Or a book. Or a game (Fortnite, anyone?!).
And speaking of adventures, we are so excited to share our April roundup of opportunities!
As always, let us know if you have any questions, additions, or fun facts. (We meant it when we said we we love learning fun facts.) Email us with any of the above at jobsforyouth@smcgov.org.
