Applications for Fourth Cohort of Long Beach Public Service Corps Now Open

Release Date: 2026-04-13

Through immersive placements in City departments, fellows contribute to real projects that advance Long Beach’s priorities while gaining meaningful experience in public service.

Facilitated by our Long Beach Workforce Innovation Network (LBWIN) Youth Career Services Center, LBPSC provides local college students and recent graduates ages 18 to 30 with hands-on experience working in City government and the opportunity to explore careers in public service. The program fosters economic inclusion and expands opportunities for young people to develop successful career paths. Fellows will engage in training and workshops focused on public service sectors, such as budgeting, community engagement, policy development, sustainability and government operations. Additionally, fellows will gain exposure to City Council and commission meetings, career development activities and opportunities to connect with peers across departments, strengthening their identity as a unified cohort serving Long Beach.
