ARI's Summer Youth Program Needs Your Help
Funds needed to serve interested youth this summer
ARI's hallmark program for 31 years has been its Summer Youth Program. The program provides at-risk youth with important career and leadership skills.
At last month's Summer Youth Program orientation, we had 500 interested youth attend. As one of the few organizations with a summer job program for youth in the state of California, we want to be able to accommodate all interested youth in gaining work experience and job skills. $1,000 per youth ensures that each program participant has an internship experience. Our website now has an online donation system that makes it quick and easy to help fund our Summer Youth Program. Donate now by clicking here.
