WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY   (WBRE/WYOU) — A local organization is helping to make learning fun for students in Luzerne County.  School disguised as fun, that's what Junior Achievement of NEPA is calling the new program introduced Wednesday morning at G.A.R Memorial Middle School in Wilkes-Barre. The YES program is designed to help students find their passions and expose them to a wide variety of career opportunities. 'This is a YES program that is exclusive to a Junior Achievement in York that we are bringing for the very first time to northeastern Pennsylvania, so we're programming the entire seventh grade with career readiness lessons they learn about the trades they're learning really how to become adults,' said Susan Magnotta, president of Junior Achievement.
