YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SERVICES (YES!)
We believe in preparing our students for a successful future both in and out of the classroom. That’s why we are excited to offer a comprehensive youth empowerment program in partnership with Texas Workforce Solutions Alamo and the Youth Employment Services (Y.E.S.) program.
Our work-study program provides students with the opportunity to gain real-world work experience, develop essential job skills, and explore various career paths.
