Career Assistance

The Wooten Center tries to help each child acheive his maximum potential. In addition to counseling relative to schoolwork, the center tries to create attitudes and provide assistance which will allow the individual to make the most out of his or her life.

If I can get a college basketball scholarship that's cool, but, if not -- I'm going into a field where I have a 100% chance of a good job.

Typical examples of career assistance include:

  • Internship positions both inside the center and with other businesses and organizations.
  • Scholarship assistance and placement in local universities. For example, in 1996 the Center placed two boys and two girls into CSULA.
