Urban Options

works intensively with older youth to prepare them for entry into the workforce, and develop marketable skills. Participants receive job readiness training, job placements, referrals to local employers, as well as case management and mentoring. Urban Options develops life-skills including money management, self-sustainability, and problem solving. Guest speakers, college preparation, and internship opportunities are other aspects of the Urban Options program that give young people marketable skills for a future career.
