We welcome employers as valued partners in creating meaningful opportunities for young people. By working together with open communication, shared expectations, and a commitment to supportive supervision, we can build positive relationships that benefit both youth participants and the workplaces that help them grow. We view this partnership as a collaborative investment in Hampden County’s future workforce and the long-term success of our community. Thank you for your support.

The term "Youth" refers to 14-25 year olds in our youth programs.

Worksite expectations:

-Priority is for worksites in Springfield, Holyoke, Westfield and Chicopee, serving youth from those cities.

-Worksites are youth-friendly and offer an opportunity not only to work part time this summer but to learn about potential careers.

-Worksites will be expected to hire new youth for these positions, rather than fund youth who have already been working at the organization.

-Priority for funding more than 3 youth will go to sites that can match youth hires or extend youth hours/weeks beyond the MassHire funding.

-ALL youth must complete the MassHire application and certify eligibility before beginning to work.

-No late/incomplete applications will be accepted. Summer applications should be submitted no later than

6/15/26.
