A Branch of the YMCA of Greater Ft.
Many young people make choices to leave high school before graduating.
The Fort Wayne Community Schools in cooperation with YMCA coalition for Youth Services Branch, JobWorks, and the City of Fort Wayne sponsor the unique program which helps participants achieve a better life for themselves. The YLS Mission is simple, but effective. The program works to guide young adults ages 17-21 toward achieving their GED or high school diploma. YLS also places participants into job skill experiences, where they earn wages. These skills give them confidence and readiness needed to obtain employment.
