47.1-million dollars is being made available to support the state’s Summer Youth Employment Program.
The money supports communities in creating summer jobs for those between the ages of 14-20 from low income families. Governor Kathy Hochul said the program teaches young people responsibilities that can help them excel in careers later in life.
The funding is expected to assist approximately 18,500 youth throughout the state.
“For so many young people, having a summer job is a rite of passage that helps them gain valuable skills and their first experiences in the workplace,” Governor Hochul said. “The Summer Youth Employment Program provides invaluable experiences for young people from low-income households, teaching them responsibilities that can help them excel in careers later in life.”
“With this investment, we’re ensuring our teens and young adults have equitable access to job opportunities, training, and workforce experience,” said Lieutenant Governor Delgado. “We must support historically underserved communities, provide resources for families statewide, and put our kids on the path to success.”
