Licking County JFS has provided funding for youth employment programs this summer. The economy has made it very difficult for youth to find part-time summer employment. Realizing that real world work experience builds a solid foundation to a strong work ethic and development of good career choices, our agency set aside TANF/PRC funding to provide low income youth and young adults and opportunity to gain valuable work experience while stimulating the local economy. In addition, summer work also provides activities for teens during the day that would ordinarily be left unsupervised.
