There is growing concern about youth and young adults in Duluth who have disengaged with school and work during this health pandemic.
That s why the Duluth Workforce Development s program called Youth Employment Services (YES) wants youth to know there is help out there for them during these trying times.
The YES Program offers free employment and education services to eligible youth and young adults that live in Duluth and are ages 16 to 24. Staff from the program say youth need that extra support right now. Being a youth in Duluth, I definitely struggled with facing my obstacles. Knowing that I had that extra support and someone to go to when I needed someone to talk to about it, it was just really helpful, said 25-year-old Saraiya Piantek, who is a past participant of the YES Program.
