Here is a quick breakdown of our alumni stipend information including the summer bonus breakdown for the first 25 staff hired.

Notes on alumni bonuses/travel reimbursement: 

Hiring Bonus: Alumni staff are eligible for up to $500. This will be based on when you were hired, and if you would work the whole summer. This hiring bonus will be part of your total stipend that will be split into paychecks over the summer (June 15th, June 30th, July 14th, July 31st, August 15th, 2023). 

Finisher Bonus: All staff are eligible for up to $500, based on length of employment in summer. Only staff who complete their summer will receive this bonus. This is payable on the last paycheck of the summer, August 15th, 2023. 

Travel Reimbursement: Alumni staff who get this RAMP travel reimbursement offer will have round-trip travel expenses of up to $500 reimbursed. 

  • We reimburse for basic travel expenses: plane/train/bus tickets, up to 2 pieces of luggage, and gas
  • We will not cover meals or other travel expenses.
  • Submit receipts by May 21 for RAMP travel to Minneapolis or round-trip. Covered expenses will be totaled and paid out by YouthWorks on May 31.
