[US] I’ve been texting back and forth with this “person” about some sort of youth remote work thing?

A person claims to have received an email about a remote work opportunity for high school graduates, followed by a text about a 'YouthBuild part time employment program' offering $25/hour. They suspect it's a scam involving check deposits and cannot locate the original email or Google Form confirmation. Mental health challenges are cited as a factor in their uncertainty about the situation.
