Summer Youth Employment Training

Sponsored by: The New Covenant Church

and the City of Austin

MISSION

To provide opportunities for youth development through meaningful work experiences that promote economic self-sufficiency, good citizenship and healthy lifestyles.

Each year just before summer arrives, the New Covenant Church participates in the City of Austin sponsored Summer Employment Training Program.

This training program was designed for young people generally under the age of 17 years old, who desire to find jobs within the City of Austin during the summer months.

They are taught how to apply for jobs, dress for interviews, and among other things how to be a good employee.

Under the direction of Pastor Eddie E. Willis, Sr., volunteers from the New Covenant Church assist with the organization and training. They have really enjoyed working with the youth.

The youth of today are looking for good role models in today's society. We have strived to fulfill this beginning part of their lives and be a benefit. Hopefully we can instill them with the desire to be good employees today and into the future in whatever are of the job force they may aspire to be a part of.
