DISCUSSION
On September 21 , 2009, the City Council approved an agreement between the County of Orange
and the City of Santa Ana to provide training for a variety of green career training in eco-friendly
industries to youth ages 16-24. Youth participate in work experience and community service
activities tied to the greening of their community- Corps members received pre-employment,
work maturity, and life skills workshops, and participate in specialized education programs on
civic responsibility and environmental stewardship.
The additional funds would be used for an expansion of the Green Job Corps program to include
a stand-alone summer component. This component would offer paid work experience to
approximately an additional 54 youth ages 16 through 24 during the summer. Youth will be able
to work 40 hours per week for six weeks and will participate in work readiness workshops.
