    Berkeley youth ages 14-25 can get placed into a part-time temporary job through the YouthWorks program.

    Apply to the YouthWorks program to get valuable work experience, training opportunities, and make some income.

    Participants in YouthWorks get placed into part-time temporary positions with partner organizations or within the City of Berkeley. YouthWorks helps you develop skills in interviewing, resume writing, and employability. YouthWorks jobs are part-time, so you can stay in school while participating in the program.

    YOUTHWORKS PROGRAMS

    YouthWorks offers two seasonal sessions for youth ages 14-18, and a year-round extended program for ages 18-25. All applicants must be City of Berkeley residents.

    Due to circumstances related to COVID-19, YouthWorks will be handling new applications for Summer 2022 on a rolling basis and based on job placement availability. Please check this website for updated information or inquire directly with the program via email or phone.
