Provide a short (one to two sentence) description of your project
This project will provide academic support and career development activities to young people from underserved communities to help reduce barriers and improve their chances for success.
Briefly summarize what your organization will do to implement this project
Students will attend workshops online and in-person at UAU's Workforce Development Office on Staten Island. These workshops will help students explore career opportunities, navigate the college admissions process, and create post-secondary plans. UAU will also coordinate trips, mentoring opportunities, and case management sessions.
Briefly summarize what your organization will do to implement this project
UAU has more than twenty years of successful experience providing workforce development services to young people in New York City. Workforce development is more than connecting young people to employers – we believe it includes helping young people learn about themselves, explore new opportunities, and develop foundational interpersonal skills.
What motivated your organization to apply for this project?
Many young people do not receive the one-on-one support needed to successfully transition from high school to post-secondary life. When students are provided with access to information, guidance, and a strong support system they can strategically plan their future and pursue their dreams.
How do you think this project will make a difference in the community?
UAU is looking forward to building meaningful relationships with young people in our community and helping them reach their full potential. We are excited to support students as they complete their high school experience and enter adulthood.
