Outreach & Recruitment. The Durham YES program will work to consistently meet or exceed enrollment expectations. Word-of-mouth referrals are the program’s primary source for new enrollment, but referrals from our network of collaborative partners are also consistent. Durham YES also has a strong track record of engaging those young people who are most in need of help. Nearly 70% of the youth currently enrolled in the YES program have 3 or more WIA-defined barriers. In program year 2012, the YES program’s targeted outreach to Durham’s most needy youth—including both out-of-school and in-school youth—will include: o Marketing YES services to out-of-school youth at locations such as alternative high schools, Gateway to College program, the Department of Social Services’ Work First program, LINKS Program, Durham Juvenile Justice, and Durham Technical Community College. Recruitment efforts will also focus on events geared toward the target population, including the Xxxxxx School Career Fair, the JobLink Career Fair, and the Durham Youth Summit. o Engaging in drop-out prevention activities by strengthening collaboration between the YES program and guidance counselors within the Department of Public Instruction to create a consistent two-way referral system for in-school youth at risk of leaving school or aging out. The YES program will enroll approximately 50 additional youth from July 2012-June 2013.

Outreach & Recruitment. The Durham YES program has consistently met or exceeded enrollment expectations. Referrals from current and past program participants, as well as from our network of collaborative partners, have historically been the program’s primary sources for new enrollments. These referral sources have been, and will continue to be, augmented by a targeted recruitment plan designed to reach youth who are most at risk (and their family members). The YES program’s recruitment plan for PY2014 consists of a series of collaborative activities with organizations across the community, including: o Targeted outreach in low-income areas. Several organizations in low-income areas across Durham (including X.X. Xxxx Community Center, Walltown Community Center, West End Community Center, and the Boys & Girls Club) hold regular informational fairs for youth and other community members in the area. Program leadership and staff will work with these organizations to present a comprehensive overview of the YES program, including requirements for eligibility and enrollment, to potential YES participants. o Targeted outreach to out-of-school youth. The YES staff will partner with the Durham Public School office to develop a list of areas in the community in which there is a high concentration of high school dropouts. Using this information, staff will conduct recruitment activities in those areas that are designed to appeal specifically to this population. Recruitment could include informational booths at community health centers, presentations by staff, and other activities. o Targeted outreach to in-school youth. YES program leadership is committed to strengthening and expanding its collaborative work with the Durham Public School System in order to reach young people who are at risk of dropping out. Our recruitment plan includes a renewed emphasis on reaching out to school principals and other staff—not only to identify students in need of help—but to develop a comprehensive, collaborative approach for pooling our resources in a way that is both beneficial to students as well as efficient and effective.
