Empowering Delaware’s Future: First State Community Action Agency’s Youth Programs:

At First State Community Action Agency, we believe that every young person deserves the tools, support, and opportunities to achieve their fullest potential. Through our dynamic youth programs, we are not just shaping futures—we are transforming lives. Our initiatives focus on education, leadership development, career readiness, and community engagement, ensuring that Delaware’s youth have the skills and confidence to become tomorrow’s leaders.

Investing in the Leaders of Tomorrow

Our youth programs offer a holistic approach to personal and professional development. We provide mentorship, tutoring, financial literacy training, and workforce development programs that prepare young people for a successful future. Through structured activities, hands-on learning, and real-world experiences, we help them navigate the challenges of adolescence while instilling values of resilience, responsibility, and civic engagement.

Key Programs and Their Impact:

  • After-School & Summer Enrichment: Providing safe, engaging environments for academic support and social development.
  • Youth Workforce Development: Equipping young people with job skills, resume-building workshops, and internship opportunities.
  • Leadership & Civic Engagement: Encouraging youth to take an active role in their communities through volunteerism and advocacy.
  • Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship: Teaching fundamental money management skills and inspiring entrepreneurial thinking.
