Enrollment in Champaign’s YES program has skyrocketed—jumping from 64 to 350 students in just two years! Local high schoolers are lining up for hands-on job training, resume workshops, and real-world work experience, all designed to help them land that crucial first job. The surge is so big, the program is looking to hire more staff to keep up. It’s not just about paychecks; organizers say these opportunities help prevent youth violence and boost students’ sense of belonging. What do you think: How can our community support this momentum and help even more young people succeed? #JobCareer #Champaign #YouthJobs
