The Santa Ana City Council approved the initial <br />youth service provider contracts at its November 17, 2003, meeting <br />utilizing the 2003-04 WIA grant allocation. Services provided to the <br />youth include comprehensive education and employment preparation services <br />for In-School and Out-of-School youth who are Santa Ana residents between <br />the ages of 16 and 21. <br /> <br />On May 27, 2004, the Santa Ana Youth Council recommended approval of the <br />2004-05 distribution of Workforce Investment Act (WIA) youth funds to the <br />current service providers.
