Internship Sites

We are able to train and place more youth each program quarter thanks to our local business partners who offer internship placements to our youth. They provide direct hard-skill training to youth interns and oversee each intern for their placement.

Community Partners

Our non-profit and school partners do incredible work for local youth who are low income, experiencing homelessness, or transitioning out of foster care. Each organization addresses a crucial piece of the puzzle to equip youth, including educational support, housing resources, advocacy, mental and behavioral support, and more. Our partners refer youth to us who are looking for hands-on job skill training and experience.
