""Before SF YouthWorks I was a hopeless girl trying to search for a job amid a global pandemic. This program believed in me long before I believed in myself.""
""This is a program that works. There is not a better investment in our youth than providing them with opportunities to learn and earn.""
Protests occurred at San Francisco City Hall against proposed $2 million budget cuts to the YouthWorks internship program, which has operated for nearly 28 years. The program currently supports 400 high school students annually, but cuts would reduce this to 80. Participants, many from low-income households, expressed the program's significant impact on their lives. Evelyn Ramirez shared her personal experience, emphasizing the program's role in her development. YouthWorks has placed over 10,000 youth in internships, demonstrating its effectiveness in providing job opportunities.
