YouthWorks Summer Jobs

Each summer, youth are provided with 18 hours of pre-employment training, along with 6-7 weeks of meaningful paid work experience, and daily supervision and support.
Emergency Rental Assistance
Are you having trouble paying your rent, mortgage or utility bills because of the COVID-19 pandemic? Have you lost your job or lost income during the Covid-19 health crisis? Are you at risk of becoming homeless? There are federal resources available for emergency rent relief.
