The ARRA Summer Youth Employment Program, directed by Ramsey County Workforce Solutions, provided 444 youth, ages 14-24, summer jobs ranging from landscape work to daycare assistants. Five community-based organizations were given $970,000 to make this happen. There is an additional $750,000 of ARRA stimulus funds to assist 375 low income, at-risk youth residing in Ramsey County with mentoring, job-readiness and retention skills, work experiences, job shadowing and job placement from April 2009 to March 2010. An additional $90,000 of ARRA stimulus funds were acquired competitively to provide mentoring, work experiences and job placement to more than 50 youth transitioning from Boys Totem Town back to their schools and communities.
