ABOUT US
Urban Works Youth Training Program is an outreach/ministry that operates under a nonprofit charity 501c status. We are a faith based program educating youth in the community to utilize time wisely and build healthy spiritual values.
We are located in Williamsport, PA and work with the youth in the Tri-state area of Williamsport, Lewisburg, Selinsgrove, and York Pa.
Here at Urban Works Youth Training Program, we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2000, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organization upon.
Our primary focus is to increase the number of academic achievement in pre-teen students; to facilitate a higher success in GPA ratings upon reaching high school; and creating a wide range of options in choosing colleges and trades across the state.
Our youth program provides youth with the structure, guidance, support, hands-on training, educational resources, job readiness, communication skills as well as trade programs to help them develop these skills and become productive citizens in society.
ACTIVITIES
WHAT WE DO
We are a program that targets youth in the community who lack direction in fundamentals of becoming a positive and productive member of society, aging from 9-17 years old.
Parents partnered with their child or an adult trainer may participate in our hands on fundraiser program while sharing the message of Christ. Ages for this program range from 10-12 years old.
Other programs that we offer youth are: Urban at Risk Mentoring program, Financial literacy class, Urban Works Scholarship educational program, Urban Works Afterschool Hangout Haven, Urban intro to technical skills and Urban Works Job Readiness program.
“You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives."
