Counselor will provide youth with the various options available to them <br />and will provide guidance along the way. The Counselor and youth will write down the path <br />youth decides to take. Counselor will check in with youth periodically to ensure that youth is <br />fulfilling all requirements. Prior to meeting with youth, the Educational Counselor will <br />research the alternative secondary school services available near the youth. Counselor will <br />gather information regarding requirements, costs, rules, schedules, entrance exams, etc. and <br />provide to youth this information. In addition, the counselor will prove youth some examples <br />of alternative secondary school services located in Santa Ana, provided below in Table 7. <br /> <br />In summary, the Educational Counselor will meet with each WIOA youth to obtain a better <br />understanding of the participants’ needs. During this meeting, the Counselor will gather more <br />information relevant to the youth’s needs. Together, the Educational Counselor and youth <br />will find the program that best suits the participant. Then, they will call and set up an <br />appointment to meet with the representative of the program. The Counselor will attend this <br />meeting with the youth to advocate for the participant’s best option. After this meeting, the <br />participant and the counselor will strategize on how to proceed further. During this period, <br />the youth will also be supported with additional academic /educational services, such as <br />tutoring, study skills, time management, financial literacy and other important life skills <br />topics. <br /> <br />Table 7: Alternative Secondary Schools located in Santa Ana <br />Name Address Phone # Website Notes <br />College and Career <br />Preparatory <br />Academy <br />1699 E.
