The CalifornianForAll (CA4All) Youth Employment Program is a Governor’s initiative administered by California Volunteers in partnership with cities across California. The purpose is to increase youth employment, develop youth interest in a career in public service and to strengthen city capacity to address key areas of climate action, food insecurity, community sustainability, education, and public service.
