After-School and Summer Employment
After-school job training and subsidized summer employment helps high-risk youth acquire skills and contribute financially as well. Investing in employment opportunities for high risk youth keeps them engaged and builds strong basic work habits. Youth served under the Juvenile Justice Center/OUSD wraparound strategy will have first priority for filling these employment slots.
Youth Employment Partnership, Inc.
Youth Employment Partnership, Inc., located in the Fruitvale District, provides after school training and employment to 110 high-risk youth through “Career Try-Out” paid internships and job readiness workshops during the school year. During the summer, YEP offers employment training and paid internships to 85 high-risk youth (14-18) through the Mayor’s Summer Job Program.
