Youth Participants between the ages of 14-21 receive life skills, pre-employment training and paid work experience during the summer. This program has two components:

1. The Brush Clearance Program provides the youngest and unskilled youth ages 14-16 a first time job experience. On closely supervised teams, the participants spend six weeks removing overgrown brush on over 30 parcels of City-owned land, augmenting the City's Vegetation Management Program and reducing the risk of fire on the city's hillside.

2. Youth between the ages of 17 and 21 are placed in jobs throughout the community such as the local hospitals, non-profit organizations, libraries, schools and public agencies. Youth are also placed in for-profit businesses within the community such as retail stores, offices and fast food restaurants.

• Between the ages of 14 and 21
• From a low income household
