Young Adult Opportunity Initiative reviews
4I'm glad to see such good reviews. I have contacted someone for my son. I only hope our experience is this great.
Very good place that offers you the opportunity to get your GED for free. Most of the staff is bilingual, super friendly, empathetic, motivating, dreamers. If you really are a young person or adult who wants to grow and break barriers, this place will help you do it. They even offer Job Skills and CPR and AED Training free of charge in one of their programs! As I told you, it is a super place for young entrepreneurs who want to start something after HS. They give stipends that can help you as long as you don't miss and fulfill your commitment. At the end of the day it is a help and we must take advantage of all that they offer us, not all places and people offer this help to young people or believe in them.
Take advantage of it! You will love it!
This place lives up to its name: back in 2016 when I was 18 and fresh out of high school, I found out about the program thanks to their flyers and joined them in the summer. After being unable to get admissions into college due to affordability, I felt disoriented. However, thanks to their teachings in job readiness training, one-on-one counseling, group work exercises, first aid, CPR training and more, I was able to ace many interviews moving forward starting with a scholarship interview for college. Their program guided me to a path of new opportunities.
To this day, they continue to provide these services for young adults and haven't stopped looking for ways to improve like new and bigger classrooms, more access to technology, and comfortable offices for their staff. They've been able to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic so they're still going strong.
It's a waste of time for young entrepreneurs check out SCORE at the SBA or Job Corps I went here for 8 wks & gained nothing it took 8 weeks to get a $600 stipend of which I only received $400 & I sold to canvas paintings for $600 each while attending the program. The cpr training that I never plan on using was cool. I gained more skills from jackson hewitt to use in my business than I did in this program.
