Whether planning to graduate, get a job, or go to college, young people at WYC receive support, every step of the way. From preparing for post-secondary education to career planning and paid internships, this program gives youth the tools and confidence to succeed.

Members work closely with staff to set personal academic and career goals, then build the skills needed to reach them. That could mean visiting colleges or figuring out what it takes to apply for financial aid. It might mean exploring new career options, writing a résumé, or landing that first job.
