Subsidized Youth Employment Program
Commonwealth Corporation is pleased to release the application package for YouthWorks 2008 – a year-round jobs program for eligible youth. An appropriation for the program was included in the state’s budget. Governor Patrick, working with Suzanne M. Bump, Secretary of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, has approved awarding funds to serve eligible youth within the twenty-five Massachusetts cities that have the highest incidence of juvenile delinquency. Funds are intended to support wages for at-risk, low-income youth and can be used for jobs with public, private, or non-profit employers.
