24RFP022824C-MH - 2024 ARPA Summer Youth Job Training Program

The ARPA Summer Youth Job Training Program (SYJTP) was established as part of Fulton County’s
commitment to providing Fulton County teens with the opportunity to gain work experience, develop
interpersonal skills, and learn and explore career interests while earning income during the summer.
Summer job programs and internships for youth are important vehicles to help them gain work experience,
expand their social and professional networks, imagine new possibilities for themselves, and engage in positive,
constructive activities during time that would otherwise be unstructured.
ARPA funding will be awarded to community-based organizations to create new programs or expand existing
programs to serve more participants. Program emphasis is on training and job placement in small businesses
and industries disproportionately impacted and/or on the rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic and its
economic consequences.
