A History of FHNQYouth

This site is a project of the Youth Career Connections Council, formerly known as the Youth Services Council. It is hosted by The MassHire Franklin Hampshire Workforce Board and aims to promote the education and career development of young people in Hampshire, Franklin, and the North Quabbin regions. The project started in 2002 with the goal of providing information about internships, volunteering, career choices, and useful links for youth. In 2005 and 2011, the project was updated to ensure the relevance of the information. In 2014, a group of young people called the Tech Scouts, led by Bram Moreinis of Game Face Web Design, updated the website. The professional look and functionality of the current site is thanks to their work. In 2020, Lydia Barrett-Miller was hired to further improve the user experience by organizing the information on the site.
