We enroll 390 at risk, low income high school students on a yearly basis through referrals from high school counselors and collaborating agencies. We provide a minimum of 13 hours of employability and life skills training, consisting of skills needed to obtain and hold a job. We provide actual work experience internships, as well as, bus passes on a monthly basis. We placed them in different local business and our agency pays the participant while they do their internship at the rate of $11.25 per hour. We also provide them with job placement. We provide follow –ups for 9 months after they complete their 13 hours of employability and life skills training and participants are monitored closely to make sure that youth stays in school and crime free.
