DUMFRIES, Va. — Four new student interns will spend their summer learning about the inner workings of local government.
Matthey Critchley, 15, Carson Hill, 15, and Isaiah Claggett, 16, and Fernando Ruiz, 17, were selected for the Dumfries Summer Youth Employment Program. All three interns live in Dumfries and began their work session last week at a meeting of the Town Council where they were introduced.
The interns will work a 15-hour work week and will be paid $8 per hour for six weeks. All in high school, the students were selected after they filled out an application and submitted a 500-word essay.
Clagget’s grandmother, Bertha Johnson, said this will be invaluable experience for her son who will graduate from high school next year.
“This is going to allow him to put some things down on his resume,” she said.
All four interns said there were exited to begin work on a productive summer, and said they were even more exited about receiving a paycheck for their work.
