Frequently Asked Questions for Summer Employment

When should I apply?

The 2025 Summer Employment Application period opened March 3rd.  Applications are available on-line to download and print via the links below (be sure to print every page). Hiring is not based on when an application is submitted.  Hiring is based on minimum qualification standards with preference for returning employees and City of Long Beach residents.

 At what age does the City hire children for summer employment?

     -  As a rule hiring starts for positions at age 14.

     -  Recreation Summer Camp staff must be at least 16 years of age.

What if I have no previous experience?

Beach cleaners and gate attendants are entry level positions and no experience is necessary. For the sport camp, training may be provided by the recreation leader and preference will be given to those that are actively involved in a particular sport.

Why do I need a NY State background check?

By state law all people working with children must have a background check performed by New York State. The City of Long Beach will provide this process for successful applicants.
