Youths from 14 to 18 can find summer positions with the city, local organizations and businesses through the Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program. Register today for the Job Fair on Saturday, Jan. 21 at the Robert Crown Center.
The Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program began in 1992, and for 30 years has provided skills and workforce opportunities year-round for thousands of Evanston youngsters. As a workforce development and non-law enforcement crime prevention initiative, the program emphasizes real-world labor expectations, increases the awareness of services offered by local community based organizations and provides opportunities for career instruction, financial literacy training, occupational skills training and social-emotional growth. The program gives participating youth up to nine weeks of entry level work experience in a variety of jobs and industries through community based organizations, city government departments and private sector businesses.
The final 2023 Job Fair will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 21 at the Robert Crown Community Center.
Registration and job fair attendance is mandatory for those interested in eligibility for in-person employment with the city and affiliated organizations through MSYEP.
