The Young Dawgs Program, coordinated by Human Resources, is in need of university work sites to place 50 local high school students in unpaid internships from 8 a.m.-noon Mondays to Thursdays running June 8-July 15.
The students primarily would be rising high school freshmen, sophomores and juniors.
Young Dawg interns participate in a rigorous application process prior to placement, including meeting academic criteria and interviewing with prospective supervisors.
The goals of the program include improving the local graduation rate, preparing a workforce for UGA, recruiting potential students for UGA and providing high school students with broader opportunities within their career interests.
