Conservation Corps North Bay and John Muir Charter School’s Youth Connections is a high
school diploma, work readiness preparation, college and career
mentoring, and entrepreneurial development program designed to
predominantly support socioeconomically disadvantaged 17-24 year olds in
Sonoma County. Through partnerships with CalSERVES, Sonoma County’s
Energy & Sustainability Division (SCESD), John Jordan Foundation
(JJF), and Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE), Youth Connections
provides opportunities for young adults who are interested in pursuing
academic goals to complete a high school diploma program through an
alternative education model. Students gain skills to enter the
workforce, pursue post-secondary education, and have access to
entrepreneurship opportunities in the areas of small business
development. Additionally, Youth Connections provides a broad range of
support services including case management and counseling, financial
literacy, social & behavioral health, parenting development, and
transition support.
At Youth Connections, through our partnership with Conservation Corps North Bay, students are able to receive
entrepreneurial certification with loan readiness access, IDA matches,
and financial mentoring in micro-enterprise business development. We
will also be incorporating StrengthsQuest curriculum into all facets of
our programming. In addition to our occupational training with national
and local certification, our program offers pre-apprentice training
with the Plumber, Electrical and Sheet Metal Unions. Integrated into
our diverse occupational experiences, we also provide various
volunteering opportunities through service-learning projects that are
tied to community and civic engagement.
Preparation for these incredible programs can be observed through our classroom activities and academic endeavors. We understand the importance of developing our students' skills in both written and verbal communication, collaboration, and we use an integrated curriculum that develops the hearts and minds of civically motivated and work ready individuals.
Our graduates leave Youth Connections committed to their community and confident in their strengths and abilities.
