Personal Responsibility Education Innovative Strategies (PREIS)
The Personal Responsibility Education Innovative Strategies (PREIS) is composed by LAYC, Equimundo and Child Trends team that work in a five-year research study program that delivers two different curricula: Many Ways of Being (MWB) and The Career Readiness Program.
MWB is a program focused on gender equity, healthy relationships, and safer sex practices, and the CRP is a curriculum that equips young people with a range of professional skills, employment readiness, and confidence they need to succeed in Life.
The Career Readiness Program equips youth with the professional skills, employment readiness, and confidence they need to succeed. Topics covered include communication, decision-making, goal-setting, work habits, teamwork, and financial literacy.
This after-school program serves 25 youth per cohort ages 15-19. Participants can earn stipends, community service hours and are provided food each session. PREIS is seeking partnerships with community-based organizations as well as Public Charter Schools in the DMV area.
