Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday that more than 18,000 teenagers will have jobs through New York’s Summer Youth Employment Program.
The state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) has distributed $25 million to all 57 New York counties and New York City to administer the program.
In Central New York, Onondaga County will use more than $603,000; Oswego County receives more than $228,000, and Cayuga, Cortland, and Madison counties will each use more than $100,000.
Young people between the ages 14 and 20 are eligible, if their families are recipients of public assistance, or have a family income below 200 percent of the federal-poverty level, or $38,180 for a family of three, the governor’s office said in a news release.
The counties can use the funding to subsidize wages; support education and training activities; and provide counseling and employment-related services, such as transportation to and from work or training.
Young people interested in participating can contact their local department of social services, according to the governor’s office.
