You can only receive your Work Permit by submitting a completed

Work Permit APPLICATION.

Work Permit APPLICATION instructions below, read carefully. 

This is the only document that you can turn in past your summer paperwork deadline. Deadline extensions are available only if you are waiting on Doctor’s or your School office. You must communicate with your HSTF staff member with updates. If you do not move this process along you risk being moved to the waitlist.

Tip one:  Once you submit the Work Permit APPLICATION below, we will email you a PDF copy. Use that copy to complete the next steps. If you need a printed version, email us back to request one.

Tip two: If you are 14 or 15 do this extra step. If you are 16 or older, skip to Tip three.

• • • 14 & 15 year old’s need a doctor’s signature on the second page of the Work Permit APPLICATION. 
    • Every doctor is different.
      • Call your doctor to find out their work permit application process. Ask if you can send the Work Permit APPLICATION PDF via email or if they need to sign a printed copy. Your doctor may require you to make an appointment to get their signature.
    • Once your doctor signs it, go to Tip three.

Tip three: Submitting Work Permit APPLICATION to your school

• • • Once all signatures are collected on your Work Permit APPLICATION, turn in your APPLICATION into your school’s office and ask them (kindly) to process your Work Permit APPLICATION.
    • It might take a day or two to process, but continue checking in to see if they have your Work Permit. 
    • Your ACTUAL WORK PERMIT should look like this.

Tip four: Submitting your Work Permit to HSTF

• • • SIGN your WORK PERMIT!
    • Take a picture of your Work Permit and submit it below.
