		<description><![CDATA[The Everychild Foundation has awarded its 2010 grant of $1 million to the South Bay Center for Counseling. The grant &#8212; the 10th given by The Everychild Foundation &#8212; will implement the &#8220;The Everychild Youth Career Pathway&#8221; program over four years. The program will engage 900 low-income, at-risk, out-of-school youth between 16 and 17 years old with information about career and educational opportunities. It will also prepare 300 of these youth for career pathways leading directly to living wage jobs in high growth industries through training and education. &#8220;The goal of the program,&#8221; says Everychild’s Founder and President Jacqueline Caster, &#8220;is to break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness experienced by many youth in Los Angeles County by providing them with an effective path to employment.&#8221; The program provides basic skills preparation, support services, counseling, and employment training to 75 participants per year for four years. At the end of the first year of training and counseling, participants are offered a slot in one of six career pathway choices. These pathways include such high-growth industries as energy, utilities, digital arts, media arts and green technologies. Once participants successfully complete the four-year program, each is guaranteed living-wage employment with local corporations [...]]]></description>
