Mayor asks Council to accept $17.9 million state grant for LA Youth Service Corps
The state money would pay 976 young people for work in city cleanup, tutoring, child care and park programs through 2027.
City youth and young adults ages 16 to 30 would get paid work and training, with about 60 percent of the grant going to participant wages. Mayor Karen Bass asks the City Council to accept $17,940,190 from California Volunteers for May 8, 2026 through December 31, 2027 and to shift Round 3 funds.
