Hire a Youth

Hire-A-Youth Summer Internship Program

Thank you for your interest in Hire-A-Youth.
 
San Diego Unified School District will not receive funding to conduct a Hire-A-Youth Program this summer. The funding that was used for the program the last two summers from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (part of the Federal Stimulus Package) has ended.
 
However, at this time, there is a small amount of funding from other sources available for the 2011 Summer Hire-A-Youth Program.  This program will be managed by the San Diego Workforce Partnership and Eastridge Staffing Group. Students who wish to participate in this program will work directly with Eastridge for all aspects of the program including application, qualification, training and placement.  Due to the limited funding, students interested in participating will be put on a waiting list and placement within the program is not guaranteed.

  • Legally able to work in the United States and possession of a valid Social Security card.
  • Between 16 and 21 years of age as of May 1, 2011.
  • Be available to work from 6 to 7 hours daily, Monday through Friday (120 to 180 total hours).  Summer school students do not qualify. 
  • Welcome summer work due to demonstrated low family income.
    • Students must provide documentation for at least one of the following low income determiners:
      • Notice of Action for Public Assistance (Food Stamps, Medical, Cash Aid)
