About YWS

PLN’s Youth Workforce Services (YWS) program recognizes that the best path to higher lifelong earnings is a good education and consistent work experience. In partnership with the City of Los Angeles’ Economic and Workforce Development Department and LAUSD, YWS reengages disconnected youth (ages 16-24), encouraging and motivating them to stay or re-engage in school and the workforce
