Youth Engagement Services (Y.E.S.)

Consisting of two year-round components, College and Career Preparation into Success and Explore and More, we provide eligible youth, ages 14 – 21, with services necessary to graduate from high school and transition successfully into college and/or careers. These services include an array of education, life skills, occupational skills training, career exploration, work experience/internships, mentorship, intensive case management, scholarships and career development services. College and Career Preparation into Success and Explore and More provide after school programming for youth in high school from 3:00 pm until 6:00 pm.

Project Ready

The Project Ready National Mentor Project is based upon three primary cornerstones: 

  1. A mentor/youth relationship building model.
  2. Core work readiness and academic activities leverages from the NUL existing programs (Project Ready and the Youth Development Framework and Guide).
  3. Wraparound activities such as community service learning and financial literacy that further engage the youth and demonstrate meaningful connections to society and the economy. 

The primary target population for the Project Ready National Mentor Project is African Americans and other urban youth ages 11-18, who are particularly vulnerable to disengagement from school, community, and the world of work.
