HOYC to Present at Aspen Convening
The Aspen Institute has invited HOYC’s Project Director, Kim Oliver, to co-lead a session on “Building On-Ramps to Adult Career Pathways” at its Convening in Los Angeles on April 23, 2014.
Kim will share how HOYC is building sector-based career pathway systems for Opportunity Youth by connecting youth development programs and services to career systems traditionally targeted to adults. She, along with Terry Grobe of Jobs for the Future, will offer emerging lessons and provide opportunities for communities across the country to accelerate their specific pathway development or expansion work.
Kim will be joined by HOYC members Alex Johnson of Capital Workforce Partners and Hector Rivera of Our Piece of the Pie at the LA Aspen Convening.
Berkshire Bank Supports Youth Leadership
We are excited to announce a $10,000 grant award from Berkshire Bank to support Youth Leadership.
Recognizing our alignment to Berkshire Bank’s goal of serving the needs of individuals with low to moderate income through education and community/economic development, Capital Workforce Partners secured this grant as HOYC’s backbone organization. Funding from Berkshire Bank will improve the prosperity of youth, community, and businesses by providing leadership training that addresses challenges and transforms economic liabilities to economic opportunities.
This grant award will help us to empower and develop the skills of up to 15 youth over a one-year period to advocate, advise, and lead solutions for real change.
