On Monday, April 27, 2015 city leaders gathered for the unofficial start of STL Youth Jobs. The program began in the summer of 2013 and provides employment for young people between 16-23 years of age. 

The Comptroller's Office has been involved in the effort since its inception. Each year, STL Youth Jobs continues to experience growth.

This year, 1,000+ young people are expected to receive summer employment through STL Youth Jobs and the work of its partners. The official kickoff of the summer jobs program is Monday, June 1st.
