HOME Youth and Resource Center
recently partnered with Grant Community School of Salem, a pre-kindergarten
through fifth grade two-way immersion/dual language school. Through this partnership
seven youth from HOME had the extraordinary privilege of being the first Grant
Intern Cohort at the school, working as Program Assistants for the after-school
program. Each of the youth committed to one afternoon per week for ten weeks in
which they will assist teachers with supplies, classroom management, and any
other tasks which help the program function optimally.
This program was designed to assist youth in entering the workforce and emphasizes the teaching of “soft” employment skills including filling out time-sheets, reporting to a supervisor, being punctual, and developing a work ethic. Most of these youth will also gain tutoring experience throughout the internship. The cohort has already submitted background checks, attended a training event, and is currently working on the initial phases of their internship.
We would like to extend a big thank you from HOME to Grant Community School and Terra Naught, Outreach Coordinator at Grant, for this phenomenal opportunity to equip ambitious youth with experience that will not only enhance their employment skills, but also empower personal achievement. As HOME continues to expand and change, our hope is that this will be just one of the several opportunities our youth will have to gain employment skills and build up their resumes. We are extremely proud of this remarkable cohort of youth and are excited to see their skill development continue to escalate!
