Intended use of funds:the rcyb project will target 57 opportunity youth comprising three cohorts served over the performance period

The project will provide participants with comprehensive educational programs and services, including earning a high school diploma or equivalency and transition to employment or post-secondary studies. Rcyb offers occupational skills training, resources, applied learning, worksite experience, pre-apprenticeship opportunities, community service, and leadership opportunities.description of the area to be served: rcyb was developed based on the needs of at-risk youth in the SAN jacinto and hemet areas of the SAN jacinto valley in southern california because local educational institutions lack the capacity to provide work-based learning and or hands-on technical training. While the area is classified as urban per U.S. Census definitions, the communities served are intermixed with large agricultural tracts with little true urban core amenities or services. While unemployment is higher in this portion of riverside county than in several other sectors, construction and logistics jobs are anticipated to grow for at least the next five years based on recent government and private forecasts. Brief summary of the proposed project, including but not limited to, the scope of the project and proposed outcomes: rcyb is a comprehensive program to assist youth in completing high school diploma or high school equivalency credential while being trained in the construction and logistics industries. Participants will earn industry-recognized credentials. Home builders institute pre-apprenticeship construction training will be taught to 29 youth. Rcyb participants will construct housing units on riverside habitat for humanity projects (calvet REN) houses for low-income veterans and their families.
