Creates new job programs for young people ages 14 to 24 across the country.
The AID Youth Employment Act would create new grant programs to help young people aged 14 to 24 find jobs. It would authorize funding for summer and year-round employment opportunities, especially for those who are in school, out of school, or unemployed. This aims to give young people work experience, skills, and mentorship.
Currently, there isn't a dedicated federal grant program of this scale focused on subsidized youth employment. This bill would create two new competitive grant programs, authorizing billions over five years to fund summer and year-round job opportunities, skill development, and mentorship for young people across the country.
