Partnership for Youth Development is a program aimed at in-school and out-of-school youth who want the skills to prepare for and find a job. Unemployed or underemployed youth who participate in the program receive counseling and job readiness training while receiving personal attention that can make a real difference in their career future.

The Tri-County Partnership for Youth Development serves low-income youth, ages 16 to 21, who may be high school drop-outs, at risk of, or involved in gang-related activities, homelessness, have substance abuse or mental health issues, or learning disabilities.
