Major Activities

Activity 2

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: One of the keys to achieving self-sufficiency is having a job that pays a livable wage with benefits and an opportunity for career advancement. Many in our region are underemployed because of a lack of marketable job skills and 10% of the residents of our community are jobless due to the economic downturn. In order for our community to be a vibrant place where hopes and dreams are realized, we must have an educated and empowered workforce. 91% of adults and dislocated workers served through Career Connections entered employment. 89% retained that employment six months after placement. 222 individuals received training through our Center for Employment Training (CET). 78% of individuals that were placed into jobs after completing the program were working at 12 months follow-up. 41 individuals received their GED's while participating in CET or our Young Parent Career Center. Workforce Development served over 26,000 individuals last year alone.

Activity 3

YOUTH SERVICES: On any given night there are over 3,000 youth and young adults homeless and left to find their own way in Northern Kentucky. The consequences are harsh. Their education is usually interrupted or cut off. They are victims of violence and abuse. They have limited or no access to health care, mental health services, or legal services. Homeless youth can't get an apartment because of their age, background, and lack of identification and income. They can't get a job without identification or a current address. Also, the transition from teenage years to adulthood is rarely easy, even for children with strong parental support and significant resources. For teenagers in state custody, "aging-out" of the system with little or no support can be especially challenging.428 homeless and runaway youth ages 12-17 received crisis services by our Homeward Bound Shelter and 218 were served residentially. 86% of youth served residentially at the Shelter were reunited with their families and 84% remained in their home school while in our care.
