In-School Youth Programs

College Works
LA Works has created a unique program enabling low-income high school students to participate in a college preparation program. This program, in collaboration with the University of New Mexico, provides high school students with the opportunity to experience 2 weeks of living, learning and working on a college campus.

College Bound
College Bound, a mentoring program for the students who participate in the College Works program, provides ongoing assistance and support as they strive to attain a college education. Students are given guidance and follow-up as they further their education.

Work Experience
This program, funded by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, exposes youth to opportunities which will prepare them for the future by providing a comprehensive array of services. The program serves eligible in-school youth ages 14 and above. Services available include work experience, tutoring, alternative secondary education, paid/unpaid work experience, occupational skills training, leadership development, supportive services guidance and counseling, adult mentoring, and 12 months of follow-up services
