Engaging Opportunity Youth in South Central PA – Knovva Academy
Strategies for Engaging Opportunity Youth in South Central Pennsylvania Network-based collective impact strategies that integrate individualized wraparound services across organizations are necessary to address the structural pressures on young people that have been building for generations, and which were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Aligning social services, workforce development agencies, educational organizations, community organizations, philanthropic efforts, and place-based partnerships can eliminate redundancies and serve as a force multiplier for collective impact efforts to re-engage youth.
The exemplars in this report all have a pathway-based approach to school and workforce development, anchored in service collaboration and system support to maximize resources, funding, and knowledge to accommodate the needs of Opportunity Youth best. Youth Opportunity Apprenticeship programs and Early College models are some of the most widespread and scalable efforts to engage Opportunity Youth, and are presented alongside examples from the study area and the state of PA.
With a strategic orientation toward collective impact, resources from partners and those of SCPa Works can be leveraged to enhance reach and impact for Opportunity Youth in the designated study area. Knovva recommends pairing digital outreach strategies with community access points. SCPa Works can be pleased to confirm that many of its existing community access points, as highlighted in this report’s maps, are strategically located and align with the geographic recommendations in the eight counties. Additionally, other geographic areas of interest are highlighted for SCPa Works’ consideration, as well as new and prospective partners for collective impact.
We have already delivered outstanding results as part of JFF’s $200,000 ProLogis logistics training programs – and this continues our growing partnership with JFF. At the end of this engagement, SCPa Works will work closely with JFF and its team of advisors to develop compelling proposals for innovative, place-based solutions that can be pitched to potential funders. Leveraging its national network, JFF will support efforts to identify and connect SCPa Works to potential funders and grant opportunities with the goal of raising funds to support concept implementation by the summer of 2024.
Dauphin County Whole Home Repair Program
SCPa Works is administering the $400,000 workforce development program for Dauphin County EDC’s Whole Home Repair program, which includes cash stipends for trainees and costs related to the design and implementation of pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeships, and publicly funded on-the-job training programs.
United Way’s Road to Success Program
SCPa Works is renewing our nearly $100,000/year engagement with the United Way through our Road to Success program, which connects job seekers with critical workforce development and supportive services (such as childcare and transportation) to increase economic mobility for the ALICE population.

Re-Entry Services Training – WIOA and SCPa Works staff attended the two-day Re-Entry Employment Specialist Training with the PA Department of Labor and Industry and the PA Board of Probation and Parole. This training will allow staff to utilize specific competencies and their related skills to assist offenders to make informed decisions about jobs, vocational and educational plans based on knowledge of the participant’s interests, skills/abilities, and values; educational and occupational opportunities and the realities of the world of work.
All EARN staff attended the Trauma Informed Healing Centered Workshop, a two-day training, three hours a day, provided by the Network with Drexel University. All EARN staff, including supervisors, participated in the training, which focused on identifying trauma in the participants or individual collective levels; learning how to reduce stress for someone who is experiencing/experienced trauma; practicing trauma-informed healing-centered responses and support; identifying their own reactions to trauma, biases, and how this informs their interactions with their colleagues and customers.
Community Access Point (CAP) Initiative
Lebanon County Christian Ministries (LCCM) stands as a beacon of community support in Lebanon County, serving as a vital community Access Point. With their unwavering dedication to making a difference, LCCM has been recognized for their impact and awarded several grants. This recognition has paved the way for an extended partnership, as they’ve invited us to increase our presence at their location.
At the heart of LCCM’s services lie their initiatives, each representing a profound commitment to uplifting the community. The Market on 7th, a recently launched venture, has garnered substantial attention since its inception in July. Operating on select days throughout the week, it provides essential resources to families in need. During my recent hours at The Market, I connected with 76 households (comprising 168 individuals) on a Wednesday morning, and another 26 households (with 125 individuals) on a Thursday evening. Among their diverse offerings, the Free Noon Meal has become a cornerstone of compassion. Serving a hot lunch daily from 12-1 p.m., this initiative transcends barriers and extends a nourishing meal to anyone in need, without any prerequisites. Weekly, this service touches the lives of approximately 160-190 individuals.
LCCM’s impact extends to those facing homelessness through the Fresh Start Emergency Shelter and Resource Center. By providing both shelter and essential resources, LCCM is fostering personal sustainability and offering protection from the elements. This commitment to holistic support is also evident in the UpLift Program, designed to empower well-being, confidence, and economic strength. With personalized action plans and collaborative efforts, UpLift is not only addressing immediate needs but also laying the foundation for lasting change.
Embodying the spirit of connection and transformation, upLIFT doesn’t merely address food insecurity—it encompasses a comprehensive approach that promotes positive change. By adhering to the More than Food framework, upLIFT ensures that members are provided with healthy groceries, holistic assistance, and creative solutions to challenges. This approach, tested and proven across the United States, has made upLIFT an impactful pilot program within LCCM. They were awarded a grant for this program because PA CareerLink was one of their CBO providing services at their location.
Success Stories
Elijah started his apprenticeship with PA State Extension as a Butcher on July 31, 2023. He is completing his second week of the program and has expressed that he feels as though the hard work will be worth his effort, as it is a perfect fit for him. He is enjoying learning the material through his lectures and his favorite part of the current classroom curriculum is learning about how the animals are processed and the techniques involved in that procedure. The program recently took a trip to Nicholas Meats, in Logantown, PA, to tour the facility and give the students an opportunity to experience what it might be like in the field before they enter into the hands-on training portion of the apprenticeship. Elijah is excited to begin his 3,000 hours in the field in two weeks and his hope is to gain employment directly through the apprenticeship once he is complete.
Joel enrolled in both NuPaths 110 and then NuPaths 120, having overlapping courses for a few weeks while managing his regular school work. Joel is 18 and a senior at Commonwealth Charter Academy; he is planning on attending Harrisburg University for IT/Computer Science in the fall of 2023. Joel finished the NuPaths 110 course with perfect attendance and all assignments handed in on time. He passed the course with a final grade of 88.12%.

WIOA DISLOCATED WORKER PARTICIPANT SUCCESS
A WIOA Dislocated Worker participant and WIOA Adult participant are a married couple enrolled in the WIOA Program. Having been assigned to work with two separate Career Advisors, both participants attended the Shelly School of Trucking to get their CDL together. They successfully graduated from their training program at Shelly on June 14, 2023. Both are scheduled to begin working for USA Truck Capacity Solutions on July 10, 2023. Their pre-employment training took place in Ohio, where both participants received supportive service funding for work boots and work pants for their new careers. They stopped by the Cap Region Office and were very excited about this new career as they have been partnered together as on-the-road drivers.
EARN PROGRAM PARTICIPANT SUCCESS
Isaela enrolled in the EARN Program in February of 2023. Isaela was residing in the US for a few years before becoming a single mother. She also was not a US citizen and needed help with childcare and assistance with learning English as a second language. She believed that the EARN Program would help her in finding employment. As a single mother, childcare prevented her from employment. The EARN Case Manager completed a referral for assistance with childcare. Through this referral to ERLC, the ERLC Case Worker was able to assist Isaela in obtaining childcare.
After securing child care, her EARN Case Manager referred her to a local ESL class. Isaela began going to ESL classes at a local church, which she attended three times a week. She completed the LinkedIn Learning EARN Job Readiness Pathway and maintained compliance by completing the necessary hours required to participate in the EARN Program.
Isaela maintained communication with her Case Manager and advised her when she obtained employment at a warehouse. As she continues in the program, Isaela continues to submit her pay stubs. Isaela decided she wanted to work towards her Citizenship and was provided the resources for taking the US Citizenship test. The Case Manager advised Isaela about the free online help with citizenship testing through USA Learns. The Case Manager was able to connect Isaela with a church that was able to assist with the citizenship process and the test.
Isaela is scheduled to take the US citizenship test in August and hopes to continue working and learning English to better her employment opportunities in the future. Isaela’s cash assistance will be closing soon and she will be placed in retention. Throughout her time thus far in the EARN Program, she has been able to overcome all barriers. In addition, she was able to advance her English and secure employment, maintain employment and hopefully become a US citizen.
FAIR CHANCE HIRING PARTICIPANT SUCESS
A resident within our community came to the PA CareerLink(R) in search of a job that would provide consistent hours and a sustainable wage. A barrier to employment was determined, due to the individual being justice-impacted. The job of interest had been in an office setting, but their background was inhibiting an opportunity to gain employment. The PA CareerLink® Business Services Consultant (BSC) who was assigned to the job seeker had discussed the importance of career pathways and the prioritization of gaining employment with a company that did not see their background as a barrier. The BSC referred the job seeker to Walters Services Inc., who interviewed the job seeker within a week of the BSC referral. The job seeker was offered employment the following week, with a 40-hour-per-week schedule and starting wage of $17.50 per hour, with the possibility of raises and job growth in the future.
The ability of the PA CareerLink® Business Services Consultants to engage employers who embed Fair Chance within their hiring practices was a determining factor in placing one of our community members into sustainable employment.
LEAF PROJECT SUCCESS
Students from many different school districts in Cumberland, Dauphin, and Perry Counties applied for the Farm Crew at the LEAF Project in Landisburg, Pa. They heard about the opportunity through many different outlets school, friends, social media or hearing the presentation given by the Leadership Team from LEAF. On May 20, 2023, after going through two different interviews with the Leadership Team, there were 45 applicants 16 applicants were chosen. They were notified by Ricki Horne, Operations Director of LEAF. The reason for these 16 applicants to be the 2023 Farm Crew was; their love to learn more about the food they are eating, where it is coming from, wanting to be a part of a team, being nonjudgmental of others, and their diverse backgrounds. The crew met for the first time on May 31, 2023, at the farm. No one knew anyone even though some of them attended the same primary school, being in different classes. Today they are one; without one they can not operate. They have learned from each other, grew as a team, and have a better understanding of the food they are eating. Here are some of their testimonials.
