The program aims to put youth on a livable wage path by focusing on their success in high school, college and career development. The program ‘sticks with’ youth through age 26, or until they are on a living wage career path. SLAM Coaches are focused on providing social and emotional support, goal setting and goal tracking. A Coach and youth work on setting key program goals in the areas of education and career, with the purpose of getting them on a livable wage pathway.
