Teen leaders from Contra Costa Interfaith Sponsoring Committee (CCISCO) won a new career counselor from Contra Costa County, CA to link youths with mentors, jobs, and educational guidance. On Dec. 5, 2006 the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County approved spending $75,000 to fund a position that will deliver teens information about preparing for college, exploring careers, and finding jobs. Teens led the campaign, which involved the first application for funding from young people to the Workforce Development Board in at least five years.
