REV: 05-28-26 MI Corporate Partner Onboarding Letter Dear City of Redwood City , Thank you for joining with Year Up United in enabling young adults to move from minimum wage to meaningful careers in just one year. Year Up United asks each Internship partner to sign a brief partner agreement (attached). The agreement is designed to be simple, short and straightforward. It provides the basic key terms relevant to both partners (Year Up United and the Internship Partner). It focuses on the core element of our joint effort: to provide valuable educational experiences for our participating young adult/students. By design, it does not include typical vendor and/or staffing agency type language because this is not a typical vendor relationship and we are not entering into a staffing arrangement. This component of the Year Up United program will provide a meaningful “next stage” to the student’s education experience. Instead, the agreement sets out the obligations that Year Up United and the Internship Partner have to the students. To provide context for this agreement, what follows is a short description of Year Up United’s program (first component is Learning and Development (L&D) and second component is the Internship) and the important role of the Internship Partners. The Intern program is an integral part of the Year Up United educational experience. Year Up United students receive an educational stipend both during their classroom training at Year Up United and during their Internship at your organization. During the classroom phase, the students learn useful technical and professional skills. During the Internship, those skills are enriched by the training, supervision, and mentoring you will provide, augmented by continuing support from Year Up United. Interns take college level courses throughout the program. The students are not employees either of Year Up United or of your organization. Your organization and the Interns understand that you are not their employer, that you will not offer them benefits, that you will not pay them any wages, and that you have no obligation to hire them when their Internship is done. You will provide the Interns with training and supervision comparable to what they would receive in an educational environment. It is expected that the Interns will not displace any of your regular employees. Instead, the Interns should work under the supervision of your existing staff. The Internship is for the benefit of the student, and it is expected that you will not derive any immediate benefits from the Internship. However, you will have the option (but not the obligation) to hire any of the trained and highly motivated graduates at the end of the Internship program, without paying any placement fees. If you have any questions about the terms of the partner agreement, please contact Lisa Boyars Jackson . ATTY/AGR.2026.132/Year Up United (Internship Agreement FY 26-27) (Page 1 of 5)
