This is the site from Texas Workforce Commission, they are 100's of links to great information to youth programs and other very helpful information. call your local TWC center and ask about the youth programs for 16-24 years old, they have some great help, jobs, job placement etc...they really help with a lot of things people are not aware of. My daughter was in their program, they were great!

This program helped my daughter get a job, a nice job, took her out and bought her over 100.00 dollars worth of nice clothes, and lots of other incentives like gas cards, etc...It was a great program.
