Student Support for Level Up! Employment and Training

Resource Assistance for Youth is an organisation whose goal is to provide youth with complex needs the resources to navigate systemic barriers when facing homelessness or the risk of being homeless. Through the Level-Up Program, the organisation will achieve helping youth gain stable, long term employment who may be overlooked by other employment programs. By giving youth this chance, the goal is to nurture independence so that they are no longer using services and can be self sufficient. As Level-Up is a new program, there is not a streamlined manual for facilitation, nor is there adequate time given to plan curriculum, due to funding constraints. This internship project will address those issues and build a well-rounded program focused on youth employment skills.
