In April 2009, the State of California awarded the City of Santa Ana WORK
Center $2,078,030 in American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) youth
funds. These funds will be used to provide summer work experience to 400
Workforce Investment Act eligible youth between the ages of 14-24.
Participants in the program will receive paid work experience that will
allow them to gain basic work skills and learn the meaning of good work
habits. Youth will receive exposure to the relevance of education to
successful employment and career guidance.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the appropriation adjustment, funds will be available in
the WIA ARRA Youth Funds account (no. 123-235-various).
