The Mount Vernon Youth Bureau has renewed the S.R.A.E.P (Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program) which is designed to empower youth to make healthy choices and encourage an overall healthy lifestyle. Program participants will engage in exercises using the ONE LOVE Curriculum that focuses on physical and emotional wellbeing, positive relationships, protective factors that reduce risks and more. During this six-week period, participants will also receive Job Readiness training using the READI Curriculum (Respect, Equity, Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion) which supports a youth’s capacity to move toward employment through resume building, interviewing strategies, positive work habits, job shadowing and other necessary skills to compete in the labor market. Guaranteed Summer job placement (July - August) is guaranteed for participants that attend all S.R.A.E.P sessions.
