CYT Senior Transition Workshops


The Children and Youth and Transition Department is offering post-secondary transition workshops for seniors at Lincoln, Hoover, Morse and San Diego High Schools March – May 2019. In fall 2018 Intervention Counselors working with the CYT Department administered a needs assessment to youth in transition who may be unaccompanied, experiencing homelessness or in foster care at Lincoln, Hoover, Morse and San Diego High Schools. Over 50% of the youth at the sites indicated a desire to want more information on post-secondary options. As a response, the CYT Team created the “What’s Next” series focusing on transition skills and topics including: exploring post-secondary options, career development, resume writing, how to find a job and more. So far over 75 students have participated in the workshops. Interested students can contact their counselor.
