Building a Resilient Neighborhood Through Youth Opportunity 🌳🏛️
Preparation meets opportunity this week in the West Area. The Empowerment Congress West Area (ECWA) is proud to facilitate three major initiatives for our local youth and young adults:

IMMEDIATE HIRING: Tomorrow, May 14th, from 10 AM - 1 PM, a major Hiring Event will be held at the Family Source Center. Positions range from part-time to full-time careers.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: This Saturday, the Youth Rise Leadership Summit in Leimert Park will provide a platform for youth ages 12-18 to discuss the future of our community.

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: High school students (16+) can now apply for the Student Poll Worker Program. This is an excused absence from school that pays a stipend of up to $180, providing a unique look at the election process.

Empowerment starts with information. Please share these resources with a student, parent, or educator in the district.
