About 450 Oneida County youth ages 14 to 18 are starting summer jobs at parks, recreation centers and community programs across the county.
Most participants will work 15 to 20 hours a week for four to six weeks through the New York State-funded Summer Youth Employment Program.
County Executive Anthony Picente said the program targets at-risk youth and is designed to build teamwork, communication and critical thinking skills.
