Escambia County Program Putting Young People To Work
June 18, 2020
An Escambia County program is putting young people to work.
Called the “Escambia County Youth Employment Program”, participants ages 16-24 have the chance to work up to 30 hours per week at $8.56 per hour, a dime above minimum wage.
There are 95 youth participating in the program this year. They started work last week in departments across the county, including Public Works, Public Safety, ECAT, West Florida Public Libraries and more.

So y’all gone just keep acting like the virus ain’t running rampant in our state
Great job Escambia County. I challenge all Escambia County businesses, hospitals and non- profits to make a commitment to our young people. Give them something to do, make a little money and give them mentors and hope for the future.
Very glad to see this and glad to see youth taking advantage of this program hopefully they will learn a trade or skill that will carry them through life’s journey?
