With one youth on the waiting list, the Martin County Board of Commissioners opted to fully fund the program and add an extra $5,000 for an extra spot during Tuesday’s meeting.
The program allows youth to work temporarily at a local business. Businesses lined up this year include Great Plains transportation, Becker Financial, Integrated Tax Services, Fairmont Opera House and Avery Weigh-Tronix among others.
Minnesota Valley Action Council (MVAC) Family Resource Coordinator Tammie Hested said they were asking for the same amount as in the past, funding 14 students at $14 an hour for 240 hours each. She said they also had one student on the waiting list, meaning 15 youths total had taken steps to participate in the program.
