What is the West Sacramento Home Run?
The Home Run is a multipronged initiative designed to help families prepare their kids for school and plan for college, to help students gain work experience and skills, and to build a talent pipeline for local businesses.
Our two career readiness programs are:
Paid Summer Internships for High School Students
The Home Run includes an 8-week summer internship program for local high school students. Interns receive training and are paid by the City, which works with the West Sacramento Chamber of Commerce to recruit employers to host interns.
Digital Badges
The Home Run team also offers students the opportunity to enhance their work readiness skills by earning digital badges—online “micro-credentials” that can be shared with employers as evidence of their skills.
Both programs aim to prepare students with the transferrable skills they need to succeed in any workplace or career path. For details, see the Paid Internships and Digital Badges pages.
