Where are they now?

Summit Sierra

Youth Exploration Graduation



On December 19th, 2024, ANEW staff, along with family and friends, celebrated the achievements of 8 Youth Exploration graduates from Summit Sierra Charter School. The Youth Exploration Program aims to introduce career exploration to in-school youth ages 14-21 with documented disabilities, connecting them to apprenticeable pathways in the trades.

The program includes:



• Work-Readiness Classroom Workshops: In-person throughout the school year.

• Summer Boot Camps: 40-hour paid training focused on work-based learning.

• Exploring Trades Careers: Opportunities for job site tours, informational interviews, and job shadowing.

• Strength Building: Developing skills for self-advocacy, workplace communication, and team collaboration.

The goal of the program is to spark interest in ANEW’s Trades Rotation Program (TRP) and Pre-Apprenticeship Construction Education (PACE) Program. These 12-week pre-apprenticeship training programs prepare individuals for careers in the construction trades, giving them the skills and confidence needed to succeed in apprenticeship programs and high-paying construction jobs.
