The Livermore Public Library, along with the City of Livermore, is offering the opportunity for local teens to take part in the annual Livermore Teen Academy. The Livermore Teen Academy (Academy) is a three-week summer program that includes a series of interactive workshops and a short internship with the City of Livermore. Workshops will include topics such as personal finance and job searching skills, as well as information about local government and becoming an informed and engaged citizen. The Academy will also include an internship totaling 24-hours with a City of Livermore department. Internships will be assigned, taking into account the interests and skills of the participants. Internship time during the Academy will be paid at minimum wage. When asked what they liked best about the program, a 2025 Academy Graduate said, “I really liked meeting so many people and working in a professional environment. It was very interesting to hear about how people got involved in local government and how I can participate more around the City.”

This year’s Academy will run from June 8 through June 26, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Library will host the workshop sessions at the Civic Center Library, while participants will report to their assigned internship sites on internship days.

To be eligible, participants will need to be Livermore residents and students attending High School in the Fall of 2026. Applicants must be 16 years of age or older by the first day of the program (June 8, 2026). Livermore Public Library is now accepting applications through Saturday, February 28, 2026. Selected applicants will be invited to participate in an interview process. Based on interview results, a limited number of teens will be selected to participate in the Academy. Participants from previous years are not eligible.
