Youth Services

Young adults often run into roadblocks in their education or job search and it can feel overwhelming and frustrating. You need a job to get experience, but can't get experience without a job. Quite often circumstances outside your control affect the path you are on, making it more difficult for you to move forward. We are here to help. If you are a young adult age 16 - 24, are not employed, not in school, and have physical, economic or other challenges which may prevent you from completing your education and/or finding a career that you desire, please contact us to see how we can help.

Our services include:

• Educational support - working with tutors and/or advisors to complete high school or high school equivalency and achieve post-secondary school goals
• Work experience - gain practical experience through job shadowing, internships and apprenticeships; and learn skills needed to get and keep a job
• Career exploration and planning - find out what career might be most interesting and fit in with your interests; determine what education is needed for that career path and take steps to make it happen; target careers to help you achieve the lifestyle you want
• Financial literacy - learn how to set and follow a budget; gain knowledge so you can make good financial decisions
• Leadership training - develop skills to help you work on a team as well as lead a team, communicate, problem solve and other skills needed to succeed; participate in volunteer activities
