Summer youth work program<br />
High school students will have the<br />
chance to gain first-hand work experience<br />
and earn up to $1,300 this summer thanks<br />
to a $1.4 million investment from Franklin<br />
County.<br />
The Franklin County Board of<br />
Commissioners approved an agreement<br />
between the Department of Job and Family<br />
Services and three local nonprofits to provide<br />
paid work readiness training through<br />
the summer Ready 2 Earn program.<br />
This partnership brings together<br />
Franklin County JFS, the Columbus<br />
Urban League, Godman Guild Association<br />
and TECH CORPS Ohio to offer a combination<br />
of project-based learning and traditional<br />
work opportunities for 14- to 18-<br />
year-olds this summer.<br />
“Programs like Ready 2 Earn are generational<br />
investments,” said Deputy County<br />
Administrator Joy Bivens, who oversees<br />
the commissioners’ health and human<br />
services agencies. “It’s not just about providing<br />
an opportunity for young people to<br />
earn money over one summer. It’s about<br />
equipping them to excel in college or their<br />
career. This is one way we begin to close<br />
the racial wealth gap and move families up<br />
the economic ladder.”<br />
Ready 2 Earn partners will provide a<br />
blend of in-person work readiness training<br />
and interactive webinars. Youth will have<br />
the chance to gain exposure to in-demand<br />
career fields ranging from coding, cybersecurity<br />
and robotics to health care and early<br />
childhood education. Ready 2 Earn partners<br />
will also offer a broad array of work<br />
placements, from the Huntington Bank to<br />
the Furniture Bank of Central Ohio, to Top<br />
Golf or the Columbus Museum of Art.<br />
All participating students — regardless<br />
of whether they are in the project-based<br />
learning track or more traditional work<br />
placement track — will receive training covering<br />
essential workplace behaviors such<br />
as professionalism, teamwork and critical<br />
thinking, along with resume writing tips<br />
and interview etiquette. Participants will<br />
receive a $1,000 stipend with the chance to<br />
earn an additional $300 in incentives for<br />
hitting program-specific targets.<br />
Ready 2 Earn is just part of summer<br />
programming for youth throughout<br />
Franklin County that the commissioners<br />
will be funding this year. The program also<br />
supports the commissioners’ Rise Together<br />
Blueprint To Reduce Poverty in Franklin<br />
County, which calls for providing “comprehensive<br />
career readiness support for students<br />
with exposure to work and integrated<br />
skill-based learning opportunities.”<br />

Hilltop History & Heritage<br />
The undated photo of West Broad Elementary School is probably from the 1920s.<br />
Note the apparel of the two individuals in the center, the old model automobile<br />
driving west on Broad Street, the telephone poles (home telephone service was<br />
new to the Hilltop at that time and was provided by two competing carriers), and<br />
the tracks in the foreground for the inter-urban trolley that went the length of Broad<br />
Street on the Hilltop. West Broad ES was built in 1910 and was the second school<br />
built on the Hilltop. Highland Elementary is the oldest, built in 1895, followed by<br />
West Broad Elementary, John Burroughs (1921), and West High School (1929). If<br />
you have a photo to share, contact Stacy Berndsen-Campbell at stacyberndsen12@gmail.com.<br />
