Summer Youth Employment Program Worksite Application

Each year, the Town of Hempstead Department of Occupational Resources (DOOR) implements a work experience program for eligible youth who are Town of Hempstead/City of Long Beach residents, ages 16-20, and low-income. For six weeks during the summer, youth are placed in various worksites within the area and serve as interns. This year, youth will be paid (by HempsteadWorks) $17 an hour and work up to 30 hours a week. The program will run from July 8 through August 16, 2024.

HempsteadWorks also compensates employers for supervising these youth.

As a worksite during the summer youth employment program, each worksite will be responsible for the following:

Assigning staff to supervise youth interns
