The Work Experience Program is a cornerstone of the Yamhill Carlton summer programs for local youth. The youth are offered work placement opportunities in our Summer Childcare Program, Tiger Academy, as well as many other YCTC community events.  

 

The goals of YCTC’s Summer Youth Work Experience Programs are to serve 100 youth by: Providing affordable opportunities for youth and their parents to participate in social activities and programs; Teaching youth the job skills they need to enter the workforce; Increasing the number of Developmental Assets that our youth experience; Providing wages (enabling youth to purchase school clothes and supplies etc.); Providing drug and alcohol-free activities for local youth and an opportunity for dissemination of prevention messages; supporting our community partners in their efforts to serve youth and families.

​

Youth Work Experience (YWE) provides opportunities for youth to gain work experience and strengthen their skills in order to be more successful when applying for jobs after high school.
