Meridian Gallery Has Moved!
Our long-time worksite partner has moved locations. Meridian Gallery Art Program is now conducting their daily programming at the San Francisco Art Institute, located at 800 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94133. This is a perfect place to get the creative juices flowing. Congratulations on your new location, Meridian Gallery!
Workshops Enhance Internship Learning
(Interns at workshop)
In addition to learning work skills at their internship sites, the students also learn valuable skills at the workshops led by the Employment Coordinators.
Worksite Spotlight: Fully Laced
(Annie holding a Fully Laced hat, with her coworker and supervisor, Mike)
Annie, a student at Lowell High School, is currently interning at Fully Laced. As a Sales Associate — she provides customer service, organizes merchandise, and helps maintain the overall cleanliness and aesthetic of the store.
Fully Laced “has been a story in the making since 2005. What started as a fun project to supply fellow sneakerheads with replacement shoelaces, has grown into a full-on streetwear brand and boutique, providing the industry with cutting-edge fashion and accessories.”
During Giving Tuesday 2015, Fully Laced donated portions of their proceeds to SWEP/JCYC in order to help more youth.
