Y TEENS BUILD DIGITAL SKILLS THROUGH INNOVATIVE PROGRAM

The Y is partnering with Google to teach digital skills to teens through the Grow with Google program. Based at the West Side Y, Google trainers are offering a series of inperson workshops to 30 Y teens while also live-broadcasting to classrooms at YMCAs in Washington D.C and Charlotte, North Carolina.

All technology, trainers, and materials are provided by Google, with the aim of supporting young people in building the skills they need to grow their careers. Workshop topics include improving resumes, developing negotiation skills, and improving online presence.•
