One week left before our Readiness Skills Academy One week left before our Readiness Skills Academy (RSA) Cohort ✌🏾 wraps up and steps into their next chapter 🎓✨

Today’s focus: Mock Interview Skills 📇

Through our Readiness Skills Academy, youth spend 7 weeks building real-world skills from resume writing and workplace communication to financial literacy and hands-on job experiences at local sites 💼🌱 Each session is designed to help them feel prepared, confident, and supported as they move toward employment and long-term success.

Our youth have been putting in the work, showing up, practicing, and growing every single week. Watching their confidence build has been everything 🔥

Big things ahead 🙌🏾 #cityyouthnow #cyn #readinessskillsacademy #cohort2 #ypeeprogram

Last week, our Executive Director had the incredib Last week, our Executive Director had the incredible opportunity to attend the Arts and Mental Health Convening hosted by the Open Hearts Foundation ❤️ It was a powerful and uplifting experience to be in a space dedicated to healing, creativity, and community. Being surrounded by leaders, doers, and supporters from around the world was truly inspiring in itself and a reminder of what’s possible when passionate people come together with a shared purpose. 💞

Thank you to @openheartsfoundation for hosting such an impactful and inspiring convening. Our ED left with so many new ideas and meaningful connections, and we’re excited to continue growing them into systems that better support our youth! 🌱

📣BIG NEWS ALERT 📣 🎓✨ Congratulations to the 13 i 📣BIG NEWS ALERT 📣 

🎓✨ Congratulations to the 13 incredible youth who just graduated from our very first Readiness Skills Academy (RSA) cohort! These photos show just a few of the amazing graduates who dedicated themselves over 7 weeks to building essential skills, gaining confidence, and preparing for their next steps in internships, new jobs, and future careers. Your hard work, determination, and commitment to growth truly inspire us all!

In partnership with STEPS, this 7 week program equipped youth with essential tools for success, from resume building and mock interviews to workplace readiness skills that will carry them forward into internships and new jobs. 💼🚀

We are so proud of each young person for showing up, putting in the work, and taking this next step toward their goals. The journey doesn’t stop here, and we’re excited to continue growing this collaboration with STEPS to support even more youth on their path to employment success.

Congrats, RSA graduates! Your future is bright! 🌟

2025 flew by and we’re just now catching our breat 2025 flew by and we’re just now catching our breath! ✨🎉 As we play catch-up, we’re excited to share some highlights from last year — starting with our Personal Empowerment Program (PEP)!

Our Personal Empowerment Program (PEP) supports the holistic growth of youth at-promise by covering needs that traditional funding often can’t. We do this through various programs, like our micro-grants program! Through micro-grants, we provide temporary and emergency support for things like medical and dental assistance or care, independent living essentials, groceries, and recreational programs that encourage positive, pro-social activities 🌱💪

This work is only possible because of the incredible support from our community. Huge thank you to our partners and supporters:
@tickettodream @simplythebasics @juniorleaguesf @fosterlove, Klarich Family Fund, the Fremont Foundation, and all of our amazing individual donors 💛🙌

We’re so grateful to everyone who continues to stand with CYN and the young people we serve. We can’t wait to see what this next year brings! 🚀
