Juveniles 16 years of age and older are required to either have a job or be actively looking for a job, unless they are able to payback their restitution without getting a job (allowance, parents, etc). Juveniles are required to use the money they earn to make regular monthly payments towards their restitution balance. During the Job Employability Skills training classes, Project Payback will teach the juvenile ways to get a job and keep a job.
