Youth
Parents
If you are the parent of a youth ages 16 to 21, you likely already know that your child is taking steps now that will shape their adulthood and future prosperity. From finishing their education to applying for a first job to planning a career path, there are endless decisions to be considered as your child prepares for a productive life in the workforce.
Youth in the Works! is a resource within the Arapahoe/Douglas Works! workforce center that offers no-cost services to young people. We offer an array of tools to support young job-seekers, as well as provide academic support, career counseling, and training assistance to help youth reach their potential and make informed decisions about their futures.
Youth Resource Center
The Youth Resource Center is a resource room customized to meet the needs of youth job-seekers. The drop-in center features computers with internet access, fax and copy machines, courtesy phones, reference materials and access to youth-friendly job postings and hiring events. On-site youth counselors also offer résumé assistance, interview coaching and help direct youth to workshops or programs that meet their needs
