The COYOTE Youth Program Kicks Off Another Year

Workforce Development Manager Jen Miles has nurtured

the COYOTE Youth Program from a concept to the fully

institutionalized program is it today. Over the past 10

years the program has helped over 1000 youth prepare to

enter the workforce.

The COYOTE program prepares youth for the real world

by learning to complete applications correctly, create

strong resumes and cover letters, and obtain a job. They

also learn how to keep a job by utilizing time

management techniques, appropriate behavior and task

completion. The program contains basic life skills

components including budgeting and financial

management.

With teams in

Kingman, Bullhead City, and Lake Havasu City, Miles

oversees what is necessary for each city to successfully

execute the summer component of the program such as

Work Readiness instructors, additional staff, sponsors,

employer-partners, COYOTE participants, etc.

This year the COYOTE motto is: Live. Dream.

Live. Miles describes this as giving the

individual COYOTEs a different outlook. Live

– One lives at some level of confidence.

Dream – One should try to open their minds

and have improved awareness of what they

can achieve. Live - One can move on to a

bigger and better life. KICK-OFF
