The Workforce Investment Act is a federally funded, voluntary program designed to help disadvantaged youth obtain financial support for education, employment and training. The funds are based on eligibility, and require the submission of a completed application with all required documentation and signed forms. Youth ages 16-21 can apply for this program if they meet at least one of these five eligibility requirements:

• Food Stamp Recipient (within last 6 months)
• Foster Child or Homeless (letter of proof)
• TANF/Public Assistance (currently receiving)
• Low Income (contact Youth Room for specific details)
• Individuals with a Disability (documentation within last year)

If you meet at least one of these requirements and are a resident of Jefferson County, contact the Jeffco YouthWorks office at 303-271-4613 or stop by and visit us at 3500 Illinois Street, Golden.
