8-month workforce skill and career accelerator program designed for young adults (ages 18-24) to help them make a plan for their future.

Utilizes a structured cohort model to help explore career and industry opportunities and select a pathway, earn certifications, complete projects or build a portfolio with an industry-specific mentor, and get real job experience. Young adults develop the skills and relationships needed to succeed in higher education, the workforce, or entrepreneurship.

Offers a Future Ready Track program, providing one-on-one mentorship in which young adults gain industry insights, develop essential life and career skills, learn directly from professionals, and have the chance to secure paid internships. Scholarships may be available for those who qualify.

Combines classroom job training from Work Life, Faith and Finances class, and 30-90 days of paid, part-time employment with job support and coaching as participants search for long-term employment.

The HUB serves unconnected youth/young adults ages 16-24. Unconnected youth are defined as young adults who are living without permanent family support and have any of the following lived experience: pregnant/parenting, homeless or near homeless, foster care, juvenile probation, runaway or human trafficking/exploitation or are unconnected from their family of origin for any reason. The HUB has focused on providing programming support and services in the areas of education, employment, and empowerment.

Education: The HUB provides programming at Lincoln High for students that are credit deficient, struggling with truancy. These supports and services are aimed to assist students with staying in school and successfully moving closer to the goal of graduation. The HUB recognizes that traditional school does not work for everyone, so we also provide free GED prep classes (ages 16-24) and remove barriers to accessing GED testing.

Employ: The HUB assists participants in developing job skills through connections to volunteer opportunities, access to resources for job searching and supports once employment has been secured.

Empower: Concrete supports are imperative to navigate the transition to adulthood. The HUB empowers participants to advocate for themselves, assists with learning supports and resources and provides additional caring adults in the lives of participants. The HUB assists young people to determine the supports and services available and ensure that a customized system of supports is assembled. Assistance available to young adults includes connection to a Peer Support Specialist, access to emergency needs-based funds, youth eviction prevention programming, connection to housing supports and resources, financial literacy and budgeting assistance through Central Access Navigation and Community Outreach Housing Specialist.
