Low-income, former foster, justice-involved, and unemployed youth deserve the same opportunities as everyone else—in California, we are making that vision a reality.
In partnership with local governments and community-based organizations across the state, the #CaliforniansForAll Youth Jobs Corps will employ young people to help tackle critical issues in priority areas: COVID-19 recovery, food insecurity, and climate action. Youth will be supported with a minimum $15 per-hour wage (and in many cities, more than $15/hour) and provided with essential wrap-around services like case management, resume preparation, special job training, and other benefits to help ensure both their short- and long-term success.
#CaliforniansForAll Youth Jobs Corps has three core goals:
1. Increase employment for underserved youth across California.
2. Develop meaningful public service career pathways
3. Enhance the capacity of local governments to address challenges in the key areas of food insecurity, climate action, and COVID-19 recovery
