YouthWorks program returns, setting teens up for success
Montgomery County's YouthWorks program is back for its 26th year and those behind it are poised to break down barriers for area youth.
The summer months is when YouthWorks ramps up their output in the community.
Antonio Mobley, who works for the county says the program sees hundreds of teens sign up during this time. The program is for students between 14 and 18 years of age and provides them with various job opportunities.
Students can gain experience in manufacturing, IT, communications and marketing, to name a few. The program also promises year-round support in the form of resume building, interview prep, job search and workplace tips.
'We want our youth when they come through the program just to say, you know, I see myself making a career out of this field and not just, oh, this is just some employment for the summer, and I can't wait to go back to school,' Mobley says.
