Youth in Government Day 2016



The San Joaquin Board of Supervisors in partnership with San Joaquin County Office of Education, are providing an opportunity for youth to experience what it is like to work for San Joaquin County on October 27, 2016.   Job-shadowing opportunities in law enforcement, agriculture, community development, and many more are available.
There are only 80 possible job-shadowing slots, so space is limited.  Students will be assigned on a “first come, first served” basis.  The last date to sign up is Wednesday, October 9, 2016.
High School students of all ages are eligible and are to be chosen based on interest, maturity, and ability to secure transportation to and from the San Joaquin Administration Building in downtown Stockton.
The process is as follows:
1.      Students choose and prioritize three occupations that are of interest from the job description list (attached).
2.      Students complete an on-line application.  
3.      Information will be e-mailed to students from the Clerk of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors after October 19, 2016.
4.      On October 27, 2016, students will report to the San Joaquin Administration Building at 44 N. San Joaquin St, Stockton (corner of San Joaquin & Weber) at 7:15 A.M. A breakfast and welcome will begin the students’ day.
5.      On October 27, 2016, students must turn in the Release of Liability form signed by a parent or guardian to participate in the day’s activities (attached).
6.      Students will return to the San Joaquin Administration Building by the person they are shadowing and are to be picked up at 2:30 P.M.
Any questions can be directed to Jill Hatanaka at jhatanaka@sjcoe.net , or Denise Irvin at dirvin@sjcoe.net
Important Documents:
  1. Student Tip Sheet: Directions for the students to request and complete the job shadowing process.
  2. Job Shadowing Opportunities List:  Specific occupation, departments, and positions available for job-shadowing.
  3. Release of Liability form to be signed by a parent or guardian.

Last year 11 students from MHHS were selected to participate in Youth in Government Day. We would love to send even more this year to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
