Upcoming Events
York County Alliance for Learning Mentoring Programs
Mentoring programs are available in York County for high school juniors and seniors with a strong interest in the following careers: architecture, construction, engineering, insurance entrepreneurship, the hotel and hospitality industry, accounting, culinary arts, fine arts, craft arts, and law enforcement. Information about each program can be seen at www.ycal.us. In 2009-2010, eleven York Catholic students participated in the various mentoring programs and found them to be exciting and worthwhile. While each program runs a little differently, they are basically after school progrms once a month (or twice for the ACE Mentoring) from late afternoon to early evening from October until May. Each program has hands on projects; you gain valuable knowledge from the mentors; and some even feed you supper. All York County schools may participate. See Mrs. Castellanos in the career room for an application at the beginning of the school year or download one at www.ycal.us. This is a very competititve program, so please take time with your application and see your guidance counselor if you have questions. The deadline for application return is September 17.
