YouthWorks Puts Youth to Work from the New Pittsburgh Courier
"The theme of the YouthWorks 2011 Youth at Work event was opportunity. Since 1994, YouthWorks has provided more than 22,000 youth with an opportunity to pull themselves out of the cycle of poverty and violence many low-income minorities live in. “It really does become a launching pad because it expands their network and cultivates their interests. We’ve seen through many of these experiences, our young people may get a job later on,” said Dara Ware Allen, YouthWorks executive director."
