2017 Jobs for Kids Youth Employment
& Job Readiness Program Application

June 19, 2017 – July 28, 2017

Application Deadline:  April 21, 2017

Thank you for your interest in the Jobs for Kids – Youth Employment and Job Readiness Training Program (JFK). Our goal is to empower eligible youth, ages 14-18, to prepare for their future by obtaining valuable vocational skills and gain an appreciation for the connection between work and classroom learning. The program will allow youth to build a strong foundation of workplace competencies and discipline, develop a sense of pride, self -respect and acquire life-long skills.

The Jobs for Kids Program provides part-time paid work for youth in entry-level positions in various fields assisting local businesses and organizations throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas. JFK is administered by the Holman Community Development Corporation (HCDC) and has been made possible through the generosity and concern of the members of HolmanUMC; corporate and community leaders who believe that the faith based community should actively provide opportunities for young people to develop their talents through education, training and productive work.

While it is our desire to place each young person in a job and provide them with workforce training, please know that it is not economically feasible to do so. The need for such a program in our community is high. Unfortunately, the funds and job market cannot meet such a high demand for work. Therefore, not everyone who completes an application will be placed in a job.
