Teens are placed in a wide variety of departments throughout Lifespan, including:

When they graduate in August, our summer employees take with them a wealth of personal and professional experience. Some youth even gain permanent employment. Lifespan also stays in contact with the teens beyond the summer to continue career counseling.

Lifespan also offers the Seacole Scholars Program for high school students who have their Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license. Find out more about the Seacole Scolars Program.
