YO! Watts: YouthSource Summer Jobs

We are currently working with the Los Angeles YouthSource Center to place youth workers at the Jordan Downs Center for the duration of the summer. This will give our center a handful of workers, age 14-24, 100 hours of work experience with a salary paid for by the City of Los Angeles Economic Workforce Development Department.

The program increases educational and career-based mentoring opportunities by aligning youth with committed mentors, re-engaging youth in school, developing their personal and professional skills, improving their academic skills, engaging youth in work experience, volunteerism and job shadowing all leading to the youth/young adults securing direct hire livable wage employment.

These young workers will get valuable work experience in their community, and our center will get excited and engaged manpower. This is an incredible program, and one we are honored to take part in.
