What is Learn and Earn?
The Learn & Earn general program is for young people ages 14-21 to work up to 25 hours a week over the course of 6-weeks at worksites across the county and city.
Through Learn & Earn, youth are placed with community-based organizations where they are hired, trained, and assigned to a worksite for the summer. For many participants, Learn & Earn is their first job experience; for others it has become their consistent summer job.
