Inc. All rights reserved. W ICS provides an array of services to assist youth in transition. WICS Transition Services are grounded in best practices of Youth Development and focus on the skills, knowledge and resources youth need to be successful. WICS teaches young people how to develop resources for themselves as they transition to employment and independent living. WICS provides trained volunteer mentors to support and guide young people during transitional periods.
Mentors create a sense of stability and offer encouragement, ensuring the youth's success.
WICS can tailor its transition services to meet the needs of vocational, academic or community-based programs. Over the years, WICS has designed a unique approach to working with low-income clients in transition by utilizing the skills, expertise and support of trained professionals, community and corporate volunteers. WICS carefully recruits, screens and trains volunteers to become mentors. Monthly support groups offer volunteers a mechanism to discuss progress and problems encountered in individual relationships, share experiences and learn techniques that strengthen mentor partnerships. WICS staff provide supplemental workshops, ongoing trainings and updates on welfare reform.
