Approximately 45 youth representing five of EWDD’s YouthSource Centers and summer program partners came out on July 9 to support Mayor Eric Garcetti’s press conference kicking off the 2018 Hire LA’s Youth Jobs Program. Hire LA’s Youth provides job opportunities for young people between the ages of 14 and 24, placing them in a variety of industries — including entertainment, tech, transportation, healthcare, hospitality, government, and financial services. Along with work experience, the program offers training, on-the-job mentoring, financial literacy coaching, and other resources.
