Youth Works 2012 Report

YouthWorks is a state-funded youth employment program for teens and young adults aged 14 to 21 living in targeted cities across Massachusetts. Participants are temporarily employed for up to 25 hours per week during the summer and/or year round at public, private, and non-profit worksites.

Funds designated by a state budget line item are distributed to low-income communities through the state’s 16 workforce investment boards. The selection of eligible cities and towns is based on an allocation method using current American Community Survey (ACS) data on youth in poverty.

Workforce investment boards and their youth-serving partners (typically schools and community-based organizations) operate local YouthWorks programs. For more information on Pittsfield's Youth Works Programming, please contact Heather Williams at 413-442-7177 x151 / youth@berkshirereb.org.
