Programs for Youth
Workforce Innovation Opportunities Act
The Workforce Pathways for Youth program expands job training and workforce activities for young adults ages 16 – 24. Bridging the gap between their existing activities and the need to expose young adults to career-related services to empower them to enter the workforce.
​
Eligible youth, ages 16 to 24, can access a variety of career and educational services through WIOA funded programs. These services are designed to help enhance job skills, develop leadership qualities, explore career options, participate in adult and peer mentoring opportunities, and take advantage of work experiences.
Title II
Title II “Youth Opportunity Pathways Program (YOPP) diverts youth away from the juvenile justice system. This program reinforces small successes while addressing the youth fears of the real world. The program is designed to mentor and educate disadvantaged youth and provide them with life skills and pathways to success. Utilizing Operation New Hope’s evidence-based trauma informed curriculum. San Bernardino County youth will complete 16 group sessions using a series of lifestyle and life skill treatment modalities in an integrated educational approach to healthy decision-making.
CA Hire
ONH CA HIRE initiative is a reentry program aimed at providing employment services for justice-involved individuals in the Inland Empire.
The HIRE initiative is part of the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) and focuses on increasing employment opportunities for those reentering society after incarceration.
Violence Intervention Program
ONH’s VIP services are designed for youth (ages 13 – 30) who are identified as high-risk neighborhoods of gun violence, gang violence, and or gang involvement. High-risk youth are not identified as members of a gang but may demonstrate behaviors that increase the likelihood of gang involvement or gang membership. Therefore, the model is designed to provide victims of violence a safe youth opportunity center, and to reduce the risk of joining a gang by addressing the youth at the individual, family, and peer level, while strengthening problem solving skills and the family’s cohesion.
Project Safe Neighborhood
Provides high-risk youth ages 16-24 with a culturally competent case manager. Utilizing evidence-based cognitive life skills modules, introducing youth to the workforce equipping them with skills that will improve their lifestyle management, leadership development, and future career outcomes. We propose to expand PSN services by implementing an innovative summer violence reduction strategy designed to serve as a prevention and intervention program for victims and or perpetrators of violence.
