Our Advanced Summer Scholars Orientation was a success! 🎉

Last week, we had the opportunity to welcome students and families as they prepare for an exciting summer ahead. From meeting staff and interns to learning more about our programming, orientation gave everyone a chance to connect, ask questions, and gain insight into what the Advanced Summer Scholars experience has in store.

A huge THANK YOU to all of the families, students, interns, staff, and volunteers who took the time to join us. Your support and enthusiasm help make programs like this possible.

And of course, we can’t forget the fun! 🎁 Congratulations to those who won gift cards during our giveaways. Be sure to stay connected because there will be more opportunities to win prizes, meet new people, and become part of our YES community throughout the summer!

We can’t wait to see all that our scholars accomplish in the weeks ahead. ☀️📚✨

Youth Enrichment Services is honored to welcome Dr. Alison Culyba, Director of the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine and Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Public Health, and Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh, to the 5th Annual Statewide Violence Prevention Symposium.

She directs the Empowering Teens to Thrive hospital-based violence intervention program and community-based mentorship program for teens injured by or impacted by community violence, while also providing clinical care to adolescents and young adults, including violence-involved youth and youth in the juvenile legal system.

As a national leader in injury and violence prevention, Dr. Culyba is passionate about advancing opportunities for young people to heal, grow, and succeed. She looks forward to connecting with youth and colleagues at this year’s symposium and helping to catalyze conversations about youth thriving through the power of community.
