THANK YOU, Worcester City Manager Batista for allocating ARPA funds for youth employment!
“We are grateful for the City Manager and City of Worcester, Massachusetts’ investment in youth and young adults,” said Boys & Girls Club of Worcester CEO Liz Hamilton. “A summer job through YouthWorks makes a big impact for the kids we serve at the Boys & Girls Club. This workforce development program helps kids gain strong social and employment skills, introduces them to new experiences, provides them with a safe and mentoring environment, and keeps them engaged during the critical summertime months. Studies have shown that youth employment in the summer creates a healthy and vital community with economic growth and a decrease in violence and risky behavior.” Learn more here
