Student Support for New Content for RaY Programs

Resource Assistance for Youth, RaY, is a street level non-profit organization that works with youth, ages 0-29, providing integrated programs and services. Their Hub Model is designed to provide everything street and marginalized youth need on their terms. This includes health supports, housing supports, mental health and addiction supports, basic needs, drop-in services, street outreach, employment and training, and cultural supports. Based on their personal experience and connections with youth, RaY has developed new and innovative programming such as an employment and training program that responds to the emerging needs of youth.
The Level Up! Education and Training program, provides education and training to youth between between 18-29, targeting youth that have a connection to Employment an Income Assistance (EIA) and/or CFS. The level up program has two streams. First, the Level Up! Launch Pad, a 9 week paid training program offered in an alternative classroom environment which focuses on building life skills. Second, the Level Up! Lift Up, a 7 week paid training program in a classroom atmosphere where you will gain skills for the desired job and how to keep the job.
