Youth Services
Department Message
Imperial Valley Regional Occupational Program offers an array of youth services through local, state, and federal funding sources for youth ages 14-24.
These services include work readiness skills, paid and unpaid work experiences, leadership and team building skills, educational support workshops, and financial literacy workshops, independent living skills, counseling and mentoring.
All youth support services have similar overarching goals such as increasing academic achievement, career exploration, and workforce preparation and are an integral part of college and career readiness. We invite you to explore the many Projects at IVROP that promote student success.
