Wage-based (in-person) experiences must be tied to a set of benchmarks that youth achieve through completing meaningful activities and should be a combination of no less than 50% in-person and 50% virtual experiences each week. Hybrid experiences must consist of clear and distinct in-person and virtual activities.

For Hybrid Programs Only

If you are offering a Hybrid program and your youth will be paid for both in-person (50%) and virtual (50%) weekly activities, you will need to establish Benchmarks to determine what your youth need to accomplish in order to be paid. Please use the 2025 Benchmark Form to detail your Benchmarks and stipend plan. Your plan must include 30 benchmarks over 6 weeks (5 benchmarks per week). Each benchmark is worth $50.
