West Valley Family YMCA

The LA Y Teen FELLOWS Program (Fostering Equity, Leadership, Learning, Opportunity, Workforce, and Service) is a dynamic workforce development practicum created by the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles in collaboration with local school districts and school systems. This innovative program is designed to empower referred high school students with real-world experience that complements the workforce development curriculum they are already engaged in at school. The goal of the LA Y Teen FELLOWS Program is to provide a safe, structured, and enriching workforce development experience for high school students. By engaging in supervised, mission-aligned tasks across YMCA departments, FELLOWS develop professional skills while supporting the Y’s impact in the community.
