PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT: The planned program has three major goals: 1) hire a qualified Career Development Specialist; 2) design a website and phone app specifically for use by 16-25 year old youth to engage in local and regional career pathway planning; and 3) engage an expert trainer to deliver high-impact, alternative-thinking training sessions for all MVRHS guidance staff and the Career Development Specialist each year of the three-year grant period.

Fiscal responsibility for continued program operations will be gradually transferred back to ACE MV, MVRHS and the school district to sustain after the three-year funding period ends. MVYouth’s support in years two and three will be contingent on ACE MV making financial contributions and securing planned contributions from the school district and MVRHS, as outlined in their proposed budget, as well as providing evidence of the project’s successful operation and adequate achievements in an annual report.
