Grand Rapids is partnering with local businesses and organizations to help young people get jobs this summer.
GRow1000 is a youth employment program that works to get GR residents age 15-24 summer jobs.

Last summer, over 350 teens worked at 60 job sites.
This year the city is hoping to help 650 youth.
