OHDC YouthSource Workforce Investment Act Program
OHDC's YouthSource Program serves Southeast Washington County. The program is designed to assist in-school youth to obtain their educational credentials while receiving support services, high school credit courses, employment readiness training and job development services. Preparation/transition services for advanced training and college studies are also integrated into program services. Incented service learning and work-based learning experiences are available through the on-site entrepreneurship, "The Supa" Fresh Youth Farm, as well as with other business and organizations.
The OHDC YouthSource Program is funded by WorkSystems, Inc. through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor: Equal Opportunity Employer. Auxiliary aides and service are available upon request to individuals with disabilities.
