Urban League Young Professionals Mentorship Program

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) In-school Youth Program is a year-round service that helps to improve educational achievement for all youth participants and prepares them for success in employment. Since 2000, the Urban League has served nearly 8,000 youth through the Jobs Training Partnership Act, the Workforce Investment Act and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act programs.

The program provides linkages between academic and occupational learning, connection to the job market and area employers. The WIOA program helps youth to understand the connection between education and careers.
