WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

Youth ages 14-17	Youth ages 13-17	High school seniors who meet specific barriers.

Our Citywide goal is to empower young people with knowledge, resources, opportunities, and support to help them gain the fundamental basic skills needed when seeking employment.
Through our programs, participants practice newly acquired skills in safe, supportive environments.

Adults provide mentoring to help participants learn to successfully navigate school, work, community, life’s choices, and day-to-day challenges. Early adult outcomes include education, economic self-sufficiency, healthy family and social relationships, as well as positive contributions to the community.

Five fundamental pathways are utilized to help participants grow into healthy, productive adults:

• Safety
• Healthy Relationships
• Engagement
• Connecting to Community
• Relevant Skill Building
