  1. Program Description
    The Illinois Youth Investment Program (IYIP) was established to provide Illinois' at-risk youth ages 16-24, with the opportunity to participate in the employment recovery of the State. The Illinois Youth Investment Program (IYIP) is a multi-faceted approach to youth employment that invests in the future of Illinois' at-risk transition-age youth (16-24). This approach to youth employment accounts for the youth's employment barriers as well as the physical, emotional, social, and mental health needs while helping them to secure and sustain long-term and/or career employment, ensuring a greater likelihood of success and self-sufficiency.
