Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program
May 1 UPDATE:
Staff is excited that we had approximately 540 youth apply for job at the Mayor’s 2012 Summer Youth Employment Job Fair. However, due to this overwhelming response, we will need to extend decisions until Friday, May 11, 2012.
A job fair for the Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program was held from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 21 at the Morton Civic Center, 2100 Ridge Ave., Evanston. Fourteen employers interviewed 541 youth for approximately 240 jobs. A few additional jobs may be offered, based on funding availability.
This program is geared to Evanston youth age 14-18 years. In order to be eligible to attend the job fair, youth must be enrolled in school and be at least 14 years of age when the Youth Employment Program begins in mid-June 2012.

VISION:
Provide opportunities for all Evanston youth and young adults to become active and productive citizens of the community through strengthening existing youth services, establishing a network of service partnerships, increasing participation within the available opportunities, creating marketable job training and placement and increasing the opportunities for social and recreational outlets for disengaged youth.
