How Youth Become Eligible for MYPS Services:
Mesa Youth Placement Service (MYPS), is a program designed to prepare youth to become self-sufficient citizens through job readiness workshops and job opportunities.

This year-round program is available to youth ages 12-19, who lives in Mesa or attends a Mesa Public School. There are no financial guidelines to be met by the student.

To become eiligible for the program, the student must complete a registration form and return it to the MYPS office before receiving information about jobs. Registration forms and current job listings are available at Mesa Public Libraries, the MYPS office, all MPS junior high and high school Career Centers, and the MYPS web site.

After the registration process is completed, MYPS staff can then share job information with the student.
