Better your Best.
Neu-Life takes an innovative approach to growing and retaining talent by recruiting our own teen program participants to become the next generation of Neu-Life staff.
The teen worker model at the Youth Work Innovation Center (YWIC) is recognized as a best practice throughout the city. We engage middle and high school students in project-based programming to help prepare them for the workforce while training the next generation of Youth Workers.
Experienced and emerging staff alike are provided in-depth training, feedback, and one-on-one coaching to meet their professional goals.
