Applications Open for the Long Beach Public Service Corps Program (LBPSC)

Facilitated by our Long Beach Workforce Innovation Network (LBWIN) Youth Career Services Center, the LBPSC provides local college students and recent graduates ages 18 to 30 with hands-on experience working in City government and exploring careers in public service.

The program is intended to foster economic inclusion and expand opportunities for young people to develop successful career paths. Participants will engage in a series of professional development workshops designed to highlight important topics in public service, such as budgeting, community engagement, crisis management, sustainability, ethics and policy. Participants will be compensated $22 hourly for a maximum of 800 hours during the 2025 – 2026 academic year.     

Priority will be given to senior-level students at California State University, Long Beach or California State University, Dominguez Hills, those completing a career technical education program at Long Beach City College, students residing in Long Beach and those who face a barrier to employment.
