Mental Health Services
real talk. real experince. real support.
Our team includes a licensed mental health professional, certified peer allies, and resource navigators, because support should feel accessible, compassionate, and rooted in lived experience.
Young people, unleash
your career potential!
OWL360's Career Pathways Programs provide opportunities that support young people to learn about and access local career options. We provide support and resources for young people to obtain their dreams.
Earn to Learn
Runs 3X times a year and is open to people ages 17-24 (or so, exceptions can be made on case by base basis) who live in Jefferson County and who want to begin a career pathway towards a living wage and meaningful employment. This class meets weekly and requires some independent coursework. Upon completion of the 45 hour program young people earn a $500 stipend.
Level Up
Is a paid internship program that supports the Earn to Learn graduates to embark on their career pathways by supporting paid internships and pathways into vocational training programs. Upon the successful completion of 90 hours of career aligned work and/or training young people earn a $1000 stipend.
OWL360 also supports school-based career exploration programs in Jefferson County.
Reach out to the Career Pathways manager for more information or to schedule a guest teacher to work with your high school students.
Our peer allies and outreach team are responsible for connecting with youth and young adults in Jefferson County and supporting their self empowerment while advocating for the basic rights. This can look like support to develop skills that lead to sustainable independence. Our approach is guided by a foundation of compassion and hope. Our peer allies (and staff) have training in deep listening, mental health first aid, and resource navigation, among other skills.
Peer allies work directly with youth and young adults to provide support and assistance. Support may include, but is not limited to, education, employment, housing, medical care, mental health, basic needs, supportive services and beyond. Sometimes, it's as simple as being a listening ear and supporting a next step.
Peer allies are guided by the voice of the person being supported – walking alongside them as they define their journey.
