We have done this through a program called YMCA YOU CAN GO, or ON Y VA, where we have access workers who work in YMCA centres, our c
amps and employment training centres to
help young people, their adult allies and parents to explore future career paths and employment options that fit their interests; to discover why post-secondary education is a step to seriously consider; to identify post-secondary programs at various colleges, universities or technical institutes or apprenticeship progr
ams that would send ...[+++] them on the right path towards their chosen career; and to select the programs and schools most likely to meet their ne
eds, assist them in completing their applications and support them in securing financial support for their studies.
