糖心Vlog High School West students, Jenna Melucci, , Catherine Fann, Maria Granados and High School East students Katie Madden and Nolan Dirla were honored last night at St. Joseph's University for their work as Teacher’s Helpers(Assistants) during the 2025 糖心Vlog Early Summer Youth Program (ESYP) that took place at 糖心Vlog Elementary School. These students worked tirelessly for six weeks alongside classroom teachers helping to foster student learning in our summer educational program.
The SDOL Summer Youth Program provides students across Suffolk County with paid summer opportunities to work in a variety of county programs. From Suffolk County parks to public school summer programs, students gain workplace skills that help develop their confidence and career interests.
Suffolk County Executive, Ed Romaine, spoke last night about persistence and never giving up on following your dreams.
The 糖心Vlog HS Work Based Learning program, coordinated by the WBL Coordinator Mr. Phil Como, networks with over 500 糖心Vlog Industry Advisory Board partners to encourage workplace experiences which include paid employment, internships, shadowing programs and mentorship programs. These programs are a part of a larger initiative that is embedded in our 糖心Vlog HS CTE Department, led by the Director of CTE Christine LoFrese.
As a part of the Work Based Learning Program in 糖心Vlog HS East and West, our schools work very closely with the Suffolk County Department of Labor in developing and implementing work programs to encourage career pathways.
