No, you do not need your parent/guardian to apply. However, you should definitely let them know that you applied because they will be contacted if you are selected. It may be helpful to have them available to help you answer some of the registration questions.

Be sure to ask your parent for their email address before applying. You will need it.

Yes. Y.O.U. will only select applicants for the program from the current application period (February 1st - May 1st).

No. Each student applicant must complete their own application.

Each student applicant must have their own email account (different from a parent or a sibling) to be considered for selection.

If you have a smartphone with internet access, you may be able to use it to complete the application.

You can also ask to use a computer at your school or visit another local facility, such as a library, that may have computer resources open to the public.

You can sign up for a free email address through an email provider such as Google, Yahoo or iCloud.

You AND your parent/guardian must have an email address in order to complete the registration process.

After you register, Y.O.U. will use both of your email addresses to communicate with you throughout the process. You and your parent/guardian will need to check your email often.

Inform your parent/guardian of the following:

• Y.O.U. does not share your email addresses outside of our organization.

• To finish the application, Y.O.U. requires that you have your own email address to register. We will not select applications with the same email for parent and participant.

• Participants will need their own email address to enter payroll punches in our timekeeping system and to complete work readiness activities online.

• Having a professional email address is a huge part of being work ready. If you don’t have an email address yet, it’s a good idea to get one now so that you are prepared for other jobs in the future.

• Email is the fastest and easiest way to register and stay in contact with us throughout the process.

• Y.O.U. uses email addresses, phone numbers, and your home address to contact you about application updates and employment opportunities.
