• Young Adult Workforce Development

Certain communities are at a higher risk of law enforcement involvement and impacted by the state and federal war on drugs. The War on Drugs has disproportionately affected communities of color, Indigenous communities, and rural communities. This program is meant to connect young adults within the community to various businesses, organizations, and service providers, while making space for young folks to build community with each other.

The McKinleyville Family Resource Center offers young adults (16 - 24 years old)  in our community the chance to join a 12-week cohort, where folks learn about resources available to them, are given opportunities to develop their skills through internships, participate in trainings and resume workshops, and receive supportive services around transportation, clothing, and gathering right to work documents, all while getting paid! 

We are looking for 4-6 participants for our next cohort beginning in Fall 2023. Please fill out our google form here to let us know you are interested, and we will contact you regarding enrollment late September 2023. You can check out our Google Site too!

Local businesses and organizations, please fill out an interest form here if you would like to discuss creating a work experience placement for young adults in our community! 

MckFRC is an equal opportunity employer all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or protected veteran status.
