Building Skills to Support Achievement and Self-SufficiencySkills for Life & Work empowers people of all ages to learn new skills and experience success. Although Skills for Life & Work is a new addition to our organizational structure, there is a long tradition of learning at the YWCA St. Paul. The new department centralizes and strengthens learning opportunities and allows the YWCA to be more responsive to urgent and emerging community needs. The first services, launched in September of 2008 focus on closing the achievement gap by helping young people to improve their math and reading skills. Future offerings are expected to include basic skills, financial literacy, conflict resolution, violence prevention and more.
