Help for women who want work
Young women unable to find employment or lacking skills gain a second chance through the Los Angeles Job Corps program run by the YWCA with federal funds. At the San Pedro office, 17 to 21 year olds receive free training across fields such as nursing, medical aid, food service, clerical work, cosmetology, and more. The program emphasizes individualized pace, with three-day orientation and eight to ten weeks of basic education and world‑of‑work exploration, plus ongoing counseling and potential high school diploma support. Participants receive monthly stipends and transportation subsidies, with potential merit-based incentive pay after three months.
