Work-Study

Opportunities for Youth

Youth who complete the YRTTF Career Development Workshop Series can apply for the Work-Study Grant, a paid internship at their school that gives hands-on work experience and valuable skills.

Through this program, youth build:

  • Professional and teamwork skills

  • Social and interpersonal confidence

  • Responsibility and a strong work ethic

Participants earn a $300 monthly stipend for up to 3 months, which also helps them learn financial planning basics.

Graduating Seniors who successfully complete the Student Success Pathway may also apply for $500–$1,000 scholarships to support their academic and career goals. Scholarships are awarded at the annual YRTTF Dream Big LA Awards Luncheon every spring.

Work-Study Grants are available at select schools and organizations.

Note: While this opportunity is currently not available, we encourage you to stay connected for upcoming programs and future ways to get involved!
