Post High School Program

OYC supports its students by monitoring their progress up to the age of 25. The post-high coordinator provides support to ensure OYC graduates are successful in college, on-the-job and in life overall. Post-high students are invited to return to OYC as speakers, mentors and instructors. They are provided with career exposure, job interview skills classes, mandatory resources (counseling, scholarships, clothing, shoes, etc. if necessary).
