When you hire a young person (ages 14-24), you are in a position to change the trajectory of their life, ignite their creativity, and mentor and shape their future, while providing them with a meaningful work experience. With summer job opportunities, participants are more engaged, more connected to the community, and more likely to complete school.

You may find the talent your organization was missing. Help your organization, while helping the County's talented youth gain employment this summer.

Sponsorship Opportunity

If you do not currently have positions open but wish to support youth employment, we invite you to become one of our Sponsorship Partners. As a Sponsorship Partner, your organization will be recognized on Youth@Work/SYEP marketing materials and social media.
