designated Empowerment Zone, services to increase and strengthen their education
and employability. The focus of the YO Program under the umbrella of the Department
of Community Initiatives, is to reengage disconnected youth.

allowing them to overcome possible barriers to education and employment.

- Re-enrollment in high school,alternative school or GED preparation
- Enrollment in higher education
- Enrollment in long term occupational training with certification
- Full time employment
Services provided are free for youth who meet the eligibility requirements.
