Is your child facing a conflict in school? Emily can help guide you through the next steps and help you find answers.
Our Youth Program Coordinator also provides support as students navigate the process of college applications and FAFSA. She also helps parents navigate the school enrollment process across Grand Rapids.
We offer a 6 to 8 week program that prepares students between the ages of 14 and 24 for the workforce. Students gain valuable work experiences and skills through a paid internship, allowing them opportunities to explore various occupations and connect to local businesses and communities.
The program targets students living in the Grand Rapids area.
