Teen FAQs What are the requirements for me to participate in an After School Matters program?
You must: 1) be a teen between the ages of 14 and 18 years of age — youth with special needs are eligible up to age 21; 2) be a resident of the City of Chicago; 3) provide evidence of a Social Security number or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN). If you do not have these documents, in some cases, you may elect to audit the program (participate without receiving a stipend). 4) You must interview for the program and be accepted.
