State Summer Youth Employment Program(Top)

The Delaware State Summer Youth Program provides summer employment experiences for youth ages 14 - 20. All projects employing youth are designed for a four to ten week period between June and September. All employment experiences provide youth a meaningful and productive work experience while gaining exposure to the working world and its requirements.

To apply for the upcoming 2012 Summer Youth Program youth must contact the assigned Summer Youth Provider within your area. All youth must be determined eligible to participate through the program provider. Therefore, specific documentation is necessary and must be supplied directly to the provider.

There is no information to report at this time for the 2012 Summer Youth Program. All interested providers should continue to check this site daily for The Request for Proposal (RFP) and Orientation date.

For all interested youth and parents who are interested, please continue to check this site as well for any updates as to who these providers will be, and where you fill out the application.
