AG HEALEY FUNDS SUMMER YOUTH JOBS ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS

AG HEALEY FUNDS SUMMER YOUTH JOBS ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS
AG’s Office Provides $300,000 in Grant Funding for 70 Organizations to Hire Young People

BOSTON – Attorney General Maura Healey today announced that her office is awarding $300,000 in grant funding to 70 organizations across the state to fund nearly 200 summer jobs for local youth focused on health and well-being.

“Summer jobs empower young people to gain new skills and contribute to their communities,” AG Healey said. “Through our healthy summer youth jobs program, nearly 200 young people from across Massachusetts will work in jobs in government and nonprofit organizations focused on health and well-being.”

AG Healey will kickoff the third year of her Healthy Summer Youth Jobs Grant Program this week with site visits in Lawrence, Leominster, Worcester, and Springfield.

This year’s Healthy Summer Youth Jobs Grant Program is funded with $300,000 in settlement money from the AG’s Office. Beyond increasing employment for young people in the grant funding will allow teens to hold jobs that include working in a community health center, counseling at a summer camp about nutrition, leading cooking classes, and working at a farmer’s market.

Examples of jobs that have received funding from the AG’s Office include working as a coach teaching young people about healthy eating, a bilingual health educator, a camp counselor teaching physical fitness and healthy living habits, serving meals to younger kids, designing a community health research project and running a farmers’ market.
