Jóvenes en Acción (JEA):
School year paperwork
1. Sign up for the JEA Orientation
This is required for any youth in their first school year session with us. We invite you and your parent(s), if they can make it, to our JEA Orientation. If you have any concerns, please email recruitment@hydesquare.org.
2. Enrollment Form
Once in the form, make sure to click that you are enrolling in the JEA Program.
It will customize the form for JEA.
It will ask you to upload one verification document. Take a picture of one document from the list below before filling out the form. Also, if you give us school documents consent, it will ask for an additional screenshot of your report card.
Proof of Address:
Copy of student’s report card with home address listed
Copy of utility bill
Copy of bank statement
BPS student ID
State ID or Driver’s License
A Letter from an Approved Government Agency* dated within the past 60 days
A current lease, Section 8 agreement, or BPS residency affidavit
School record or letter with home address listed on it.
BPS ASPEN student profiles, which can be found under my info. Make sure the picture includes the youth’s name, school name, home address, and current school year.
3. Media Release Form
4. W-9 Form
Use the example to the right to help you complete the W-9 form.
This form is for youth in 9-12th grades. By filling out this form we will be able to process your attendance stipend if your attendance meets our benchmark each session.
Be sure to add your apartment number to the address line to make sure your stipend gets mailed directly to you.
5. Direct Deposit: ACH Payment Authorization Form
This form is optional, but we encourage you to do this if you have a bank account. You will receive your attendance stipend faster by filling out this form.
HSTF will only distribute stipends via mail or direct deposit through Bill.com. Utilizing Bill.com allows stipends to be deposited directly into the bank accounts of youth. To do so, youth will need to complete the direct deposit form below with their banking information.
Youth without a bank account should expect to receive a stipend in the mail within one to two weeks after it has been issued. Youth can opt into direct deposit at any point during the session, but please note that it may not take effect until the next stipend disbursement.
*You will need one of the following to complete this form:
- a VOIDED Check from your bank account
- or your Bank’s Direct Deposit form
5.5 ACH Youth Authorization Letter: If bank account is not in the youth's name
This form is optional, and only fill it out if the bank account above was not in the youth’s name.
This is a letter stating that youth authorize HSTF to dispurse their stipend into another family member’s account.
6. Parent Engagement Resource Form (Optional)
This is an optional form for Parents/ Guardians to let us know how engaged you would like to be in our JEA community. This form will also let us know of any resources you and your family might be interested in receiving or learning more about.
Congratulations, you have finished enrolling for JEA.
We will be sending you an invitation from Remind, our texting platform, where all JEA staff can share updates with you. We are looking forward to meeting you and welcome to the HSTF community!
Pa’lante!
