Level Up Program Faces Shutdown, Youth at Risk
from Winnipeg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Resource Assistance for Youths Level Up program, a successful employment and training initiative for at-risk youth in Winnipeg, faces shutdown on March 31st due to lack of federal funding. The program, which provides paid classroom learning and real-world job experience, has helped over 350 young people since 2020. With demand three times higher than available spots, the program targets youth facing significant barriers, such as those from the child welfare system, incarceration, or neurodiversity challenges. The programs success in reducing youth unemployment and preventing homelessness has garnered support from politicians across parties, who are advocating for its renewal. However, with the current funding set to dry up, the future of the program and its three staffers hang in the balance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
