City of Memphis Office of Youth Services

FOX13 News spotlights the City of Memphis Office of Youth Services’ MPLOY Interns, Wisdom Ramsey and Haneefa Williams, who work at Alliance Healthcare Services. We are so proud of you!

🌟 As part of Mayor Paul Young’s “Era of Yes,” we are proud to spotlight one of our newest business partners, Al’s Wings & Things. This summer, eight MPLOY participants were placed at two of their three locations, where they are gaining hands on experience by taking customer orders, helping prepare meals, assisting with daily operations, and learning the importance of excellent customer service. Through this opportunity, students are getting a firsthand look at what it takes to help run a successful business.

This is the beginning of our series, “A Day in the Life of a MPLOY Intern. Our interns along with their business partner, Sweet Aroma Dessert Studio, hosted a cookie decorating party for MSCS Project Stand Graduating Seniors.

Owner, Quishandrea “Shun” Williams, taught our MPLOY Interns to prepare and decorate cookies their first day of employment so they could assist her with the party the very next day. Go MPLOY Interns!

MPLOY Intern, Kennedi Burress, is going to have a “GOOD” Day at her first day of work at the Memphis Jazz Workshop. We wish all MPLOY interns a GOOD day too!!

Happy first day to our MPLOY interns! Enjoy your day! ⭐️⭐️
