Congratulations Family:

Welcome to the 2024 Summer Youth Works Program (SYW)! This program is designed to
provide gainful opportunities for teens while connecting them with potential employers and
providing them with positive role models and structured activities.

The SYW Advisory Board is looking forward to a productive and exciting summer. Selected
students are required to participate in the Georgia Best program, during soft skills training. This
class is necessary for success in the program.

Once the teens have completed the soft skills class, they will begin working with their assigned
employer on June 10, 2024. The paid summer employment is for eight weeks beginning June 3,
