Each year, the RCWNY offers its HYPE (Helping Youth Prepare for Employment) program for high school students and young adults who are exploring career pathways. Paid, on-the-job experience that incorporates essential workforce and soft-skills training are offered on such topics as professionalism, employment readiness, skill development, confidence building, team-building, conflict resolution, self-awareness, a focus on inclusion, and much more. Interested youth and young adults, who meet the income-eligibility requirements, are offered both year-round and in summer sessions.
