The Youth Employment Program (YEP) is designed for youth ages 14–18 and provides a supportive space to build real-world skills and prepare for future employment opportunities. The program includes job readiness workshops, mock interviews, career exploration, mentorship, emotional wellness support, and job placement assistance.

The program runs as an 8-week cohort on Saturdays from 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM. Our first cohort begins April 25, 2026, and runs through June 13, 2026, followed by a graduation ceremony on June 27, 2026.

Additional cohorts are also being planned for:
July 2026
October 2026
Tentative dates to be announced.

Food and drinks will be provided during all sessions.
