2009 Summer Youth Program

Summer Youth Employment Program

This page provides access to the menu of available documentation for Oakland's Summer Youth Employment Program. Please check back for additions and updates to published documents.

The goal of this year’s summer jobs program is to provide work to an unprecedented number of Oakland youth – nearly 1,100, ages 14 to 24 – and also to expand the number of local non profit agencies that become involved in workforce development with young people.

Thirteen organizations were selected to be part of the summer program by the WIB, which is composed of local business, labor, education and community leaders. The Oakland Private Industry Council administers the program on behalf of the WIB.
