WIOA Youth Program Employment program serving eligible youth, ages 14-24, who face barriers to education, training, and employment. We currently work with three contractors in the Phoenix metro area; Chicanos Por La Causa, Jewish Family & Children's Services, Neighborhood Ministries, YMCA-Watts Family Maryvale.
The Phoenix Youth Reach and Invest in Summer Employment (R.I.S.E.) program provides employment opportunities for youth, ages 16 to 24 years old, to learn the general aspects of working in a business during the summer months. This internship offers a pathway to building strong work ethics and making future connections.
Services Offered Virtually
At this time, our active youth contractors have been successful offering youth services virtually. Work Experiences (WEX) and assistance has been possible. Last summer we were also able to offer virtual job experiences as an option.
