Apply for 2010 Summer Youth Internships
Alderman Murphy has been a strong supporter of the city’s Earn & Learn youth employment initiative, which put 1,200 young people in summer jobs in 2008, and nearly 3,000 in 2009. The alderman said applications are now being accepted for the program’s city government summer youth internships.
To qualify for a paid city government summer youth internship, applicants must be 16 to 19 years old, and must live within the community development block grant boundary. Individuals who have previously held a city government internship are NOT eligible to apply for another internship.
Applicants selected for city government internships will work for 20 hours per week for eight weeks, beginning June 21, 2010. Please use the online application system at www.mkedcd.org/SYIP. The application deadline is March 12, 2010.
Applications will also be taken beginning in late March or early April for job slots administered by the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board. Youth can sign up on the Earn & Learn website, www.mkedcd.org/EarnLearn to be notified when the application process is underway.

IN:SITE Park East Corridor Project
Fostering temporary public art in Milwaukee County since the spring of 2006, a Milwaukee based arts group named IN:SITE is working with the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County and private property owners to transform the Park East Corridor. The temporary art project will culminate in 11 installations on sixteen blocks of the corridor.
The City of Milwaukee Arts Board, chaired by Ald. Michael Murphy, initiated this project by voting unanimously to provide over $11,000 for artist stipends. The project invites pedestrians, bikers, people who ride the bus, and drivers to explore the Park East Corridor. Thirteen local artists have come forward with bold, diverse projects. All the art will be in place by August 23, when there will be a week of activities August 23-30.
Play the video at left to view the August 24th press conference about IN:SITE.
