Youth Education and Career Development

Greater West Town Project provides a broad array of youth focused education and workforce development services designed to provide the skills, motivation and values that enable our participant to take responsibility for themselves, their families, and their communities.  Our teachers, trainers, mentors, and staff are highly trained and state certified to provide flexible personalized attention.  Our goal is that our program graduates become lifelong learners and contributors to their communities and their larger society. 

West Town Academy

The cornerstone of GWTP's youth programming is the West Town Academy (WTA).  WTA is an alternative high school for students between the ages of 17 and 21 who  are not enrolled in a traditional high school or GED program, and wish to return to school and obtain their high school diploma. 

Youth Mentoring and Employment Services

GWTP's youth workforce development extends beyond the classroom.  Our Youth Opportunities Program provides students with capable career and education mentors and employment specialists.  Other employment services includes job placement and employment.  Youth Mentors  provide  individualized case management, educational, and career guidance services for youth.
