Youth Services Network
The Youth Service Network is a dynamic collaboration of the NWPA WIB and approximately 100 partner organizations that manage educational, developmental, and vocational programs for young people through Title I of the Workforce Investment Act. Programs are coordinated through Partners for Performance (PFP), the Venango Training & Development Center, and the Erie School District.
Primary goals of the Youth Network are to expose youth to career opportunities and pathways, provide support in obtaining high school diplomas, and to facilitate the passage to post-secondary education and/or the workforce. This highly successful network also supports academic tutoring, peer-to-peer leadership activities, and related services connecting dropouts, youth in foster care, and others to career education and workforce opportunities.
