NEW ORLEANS — The Office of Youth and Families (OYF), in partnership with JOB1, today announced the release of its Request for Provider Applications for the Summer Success program.
The Summer Success program provides workforce readiness opportunities for New Orleans youth. The program intentionally connects youth who have either interacted with the juvenile justice system or who have been chronically absent from school with a five-week, paid work-readiness experience with community-based organizations.
Last year, the program served 98 youth. OYF is seeking partners who have experience providing workforce development training and soft skills development to system-involved and vulnerable youth. Selected partners will receive a $500 stipend per youth enrolled in their program. Organizations interested in participating can access the application online or by emailing summersuccess@nola.gov.
All applications are due by Friday, Jan. 13. Interested applicants can learn more and ask questions by attending a virtual information on Thursday, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. Residents should visit nola.gov/summersuccess to register.
