Educate California was selected by the Department of Public Social Services to provide benefits counseling, monthly workshops, quarterly check-ins, referrals to employment training programs, internships, apprenticeships and more for participants that registered for the coaching services. We also provided LifePrep Academy college, career, entrepreneurship and financial literacy trainings to ensure all participants used their funds wisely, gained access to needed resources and developed a plan for a successful future.

Of the 110 young adults who voluntarily registered for ongoing coaching, 37 successfully completed the entire program and achieved key educational and workforce milestones, while many others participated intermittently by attending workshops, accessing resources, completing coaching sessions, or receiving referrals as they navigated significant life challenges.

Participants earned diplomas, enrolled in community college, obtained industry certificates, secured employment, and developed personalized plans for their futures.
