Still in school or recently graduated? Do you have a yen to gain some of that real-life experience that employers are always asking about?

The City of Pasadena is accepting applications for the 2026 ROSE Internship Program, a paid internship opportunity for Pasadena youth and young adults ages 14–24 residing in low- to moderate-income households.

ROSE (Realizing Opportunities through Skillful Employment) aims to give young residents real life and job experiences for a total of 100 hours. Interns may earn up to $2,000 while gaining experience in recreation, day camps, clerical services, technology, public safety, and more.

The application period ends this Friday, February 27, 2026.
