For over 30 years, the Los Angeles Refinery (LAR) has provided local high school students a paid 7-week, summer internship. This mentor-led program not only introduces students to a variety of jobs in the refining industry but also to working in a corporate environment. The Summer Youth Program aims to cultivate our community's youth by offering them opportunities to explore potential careers, establish real life work experience, and build a solid foundation for future employability in a competitive environment.
