Youth Workforce
Youth Workforce Overview
Through the WIOA Youth Workforce Development Financial Literacy Program, adolescents, ages 18 through 24 who receive public assistance and face barriers to employment, gain knowledge and skills surrounding personal finance and decision-making. It’s offered to those who are deficient in basic literacy skills, homeless, school drop-outs, ex-offenders, runaways, foster children, pregnant or parenting, or English language learners.
The program is made possible through a professional services agreement with the Stark Tuscarawas Workforce Developmental Board for the Comprehensive Case Management and Employment, a component of the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
You can help at-risk youth become financially independent by becoming a volunteer or give an online gift.
