FY 2023-24
OVERVIEW
During the fiscal year 2023-24 (July 1,
2023 - June 30, 2024) Jobs for Youth
focused on equitably serving the County
of San Mateo’s youth population ages
14-21. JFY collaborated with all of the
public high school districts across the
County, many community-based
organizations, and various public
libraries to reach as many youth as
possible through the JFY career
development workshops (please refer to
Section V for a comprehensive list of
partners for the FY 2023-24). This year,
1,634 youth were served through 146
workshops and 9 career/community
fairs. Having worked with all of the high
school districts in the County, JFY was
able to in turn serve youth in all of the
Board of Supervisors districts.
JFY also strove to ensure youth from
every corner of the County had equitable
access to the JFY Al Teglia Scholarship,
with the two main requirements being
that youth have attended a JFY career
development workshop and that they are
between the ages of 16-21. JFY is proud
to share that 20 youth were successfully
awarded the 2024 Al Teglia Scholarship.
Of the 20 Scholars, exactly 75% of the
Scholar cohort are first generation
college students.
Additionally, JFY was able to post 434
career development opportunities (ie.
employment, internships, & volunteer
opportunities) to the JFY Job Board,
helping connect youth members to
opportunities across the entire County.
The Job Board Page and Al Teglia
Scholarship Program are fundamental
components in JFY’s mission of working
toward a truly just and inclusive society
for all, by addressing systemic barriers
to higher education and equitable
employment opportunities that many
youth in the County and beyond face.
JFY is proud of the impact the program
has had over the course of the FY
2023-24, and is eager to grow and
improve the program’s services to better
support the youth of San Mateo County!
