•Interns must be age 16-24 at the time they apply for the program.

•Applicants must fall within certain income guidelines. Again, further information in the Application section below.
If selected for the program, you will simultaneously be:
•A summer intern in the 2009 Summer Intern Program sponsored by The Sales Leadership Center at Cal State Fullerton.
•Expected to make strong contributions to the projects and on-going business of your host companies.
•Technically, an employee of Orange County.

Eligibility
There are two types of eligibility that the program requires as set forth by the OC Summer Youth Employment Program.
Right to Work Eligibility
There are several ways to establish Right to Work Eligibility. Many are described in the opening section of the application itself. Additional information is available at:
http://egov.ocgov.com/vgnfiles/ocgov/Community Investment/Content/SummerYouth/I-9.pdf
If you have any questions regarding RTW eligibility, please feel free to call 714-567-7528 OR TDD 711.
Income Eligibility
The OC Summer Youth Employment Program is geared toward students who have some level of financial need – typical of many CSUF students.
If you live at home with just your parents, your household income is $1,000,000 per year and your allowance is $1,000 per week, there will likely be a hurdle with regard to income eligibility.
However, if you’re like most CSUF students, you’re probably “scrambling” to make ends meet. Here are several examples of students that would qualify:
•Students that are receiving any kind of financial aid
•Students that live on their own
•Students that are financially independent
There are many other examples of students who would meet the eligibility guidelines. If you have questions, please contact us. If you are not quite sure if you meet the eligibility requirements, we would encourage you to error on the side of applying.
When filling out the questions regarding income on the application, please:
•Be truthful.
•Do NOT exaggerate or overstate your income.
While several factors are considered, a useful reference point is the set of guidelines on the following link:
