9. Mentoring <br /> I-J.The Rebuilding Careers for Young Adults program will offer mentoring support through both <br /> the B-Unbound mentorship platform and in-person career coaching. As previously outlined, B- <br /> Unbound connects participants with adult mentors, known as "Supportive Adults," in their fields <br /> of interest. Facilitated by the Career Navigator,the platform allows youth to engage in job <br /> shadowing, mock interviews, guided discussions, and personalized career coaching through up <br /> to five interactive sessions. These sessions will provide insights into industries such as <br /> healthcare, finance, and green jobs, helping youth develop professional skills and connections <br /> for workforce navigation. <br /> Participants will also receive ongoing support from volunteer Career Coaches with HR-related <br /> experience, who assist with resume building, interview skills, labor market analysis, and career <br /> opportunity identification.The program's Job Search Lab at the Career Success Center in Santa <br /> Ana offers essential resources like computers and printers, enabling youth to create resumes, <br /> research job opportunities, and access the tools necessary for a successful job search. <br /> K. For youth facing challenging obstacles such as family dysfunction, mental health issues, <br /> homelessness, low self-esteem, probation,gang involvement, or parenting issues, the program <br /> will provide holistic support by connecting them to specialized resources.The Career Navigator <br /> will assess each participant's individual needs and, where appropriate, refer them to local <br /> organizations offering targeted services.These may include behavioral health organizations such <br /> as NAMI-OC, Peer Voices, and Waymakers, which provide mental health support, as well as <br /> programs like H.I.R.E, which serves justice-involved youth with reintegration and personal <br /> development resources. <br /> L.The Rebuilding Careers for Young Adults program will also provide referrals for drug and <br /> alcohol counseling. Participants who need support in this area will be connected with sober <br /> living facilities, such as Nancy Clark, as well as detox services. The program maintains a network <br /> of nonprofit case managers who collaborate and share resources through online platforms and <br /> monthly meetings, ensuring that youth have access to the comprehensive guidance and <br /> counseling they need to address any substance use challenges they may face. By offering these <br /> support services, the program ensures that youth are not only prepared for their future careers <br /> but are also equipped to overcome personal challenges and thrive in all areas of their lives. <br /> i <br />
