HOW WE HELP
Education
AYA’s Education Department provides a holistic learning environment to empower Youth to reach their full potential, oftentimes overlapping Youth with our other departments to better support them. Education services offered in Coos and Curry Counties.
Workforce
AYA’s Workforce Department can assist low-income youth between the ages of 16-24 with mentoring, skill development, assisted job search, and job placement. We work with both in school youth (ISY) and out of school youth (OSY). Our Workforce services are offered in Coos and Curry Counties.
Trades
At AYA, we are proud to be on the forefront of solar technology. We are one of the few career technical schools in Coos County to offer a pre-apprenticeship program. Our program will put you ahead on your path to an apprenticeship program and your
career.
Housing
AYA’s Housing Department provides services to both homeless and unstably housed Youth and their families. All programs require an intake form and follow up meeting with one of our CSAs, and more than often require a background check.
SUPPORT SERVICES
AYA strives to provide multiple forms of assistance and support to build up our community and help tackle issues arising around generational poverty and other related impacts to our region.
Bridging the gaps between stabilization, education, and employment.
