“The Eli Home's launched "100 Chances" in July 2015. This program targets 100 at risk young people each year to interview for the opportunity to be paired with a pre-screened local business owner or executive mentor. Both mentors and youth receive orientation and oversight from Eli ESCRI staff. Youth learn interview skills and job etiquette from a certified job training professional. In its first 6 months, 52 youth completed their 12 week mentorship program. The program aims to prepare youth for employment, and if possible, for them to secure employment. Youth learn about the program from school counselors, probation officers, and word of mouth in the community. This program is part of The Eli Home's "East Street Community Renewal Initiative" that targets the area surrounding the organization's offices. Please see also Part III 4 b Program Service Accomplishments.”
