The Mount Vernon Youth Bureau is the central location for summer and after-school youth employment. The Youth Employment and Training Program provides job training and preparation for the youth of the city from ages 14 to 24. Our programs provide the necessary skills and techniques that are needed to gain an introduction to the workplace to include:

  • Basic and social skills assessments
  • Interview and resumé preparation
  • One-on-one job coaching

Our Youth Employment Programs match the skills and interests of the young people to community-based organizations and local businesses. The curriculum has been expanded to include opportunities that will prepare our youth for high-growth industries such as culinary arts; green business; healthcare; hospitality and information technology.
