What does this Program offer?

• Employer Events: At an employer event, hiring managers for a company interview (and sometimes even hire!) candidates on the spot. These invitation-only events are one of the best ways to get hired through Youth Jobs+.

• Direct Referral: If an employer is not holding any events for their job opening, Youth Jobs+ will send the resumes of qualified applicants directly to the hiring manager for the position, who will then follow up with candidates they would like to interview.

Background Information about the Program

Mayor’s Youth Jobs+ is a city-wide initiative put forth to help young adults ages 16-24, especially those with low-incomes or who are not engaged in employment or education, find meaningful work experiences to help them gain practical knowledge while developing skills essential to succeeding in today’s economy. More than 150 private sector employers (including companies like Starbucks, Target, FibroGen, LinkedIn, and Salesforce) along with over 60 nonprofits such as Japanese Community Youth Council (JCYC), Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA), and Young Community Developers (YCD), joined over 50 City agencies to provide San Francisco youth with exciting opportunities. These opportunities offered valuable work experiences in general office work, arts, computer science, retail, banking, engineering, landscaping, and dozens of other fields. The Mayor’s Youth Jobs+ Initiative has evolved from the Summer Jobs+ Initiative launched 5 years ago to a year round endeavor.

In 2015, nearly 8,000 work opportunities were provided. In total, more than 26,000 youth have been connected to work opportunities.
