Description

Supports young people (ages 16 to 24) from qualifying-income households and communities that experience racial, social and economic disparities. The goal is to increase youth and young adults' ability to pursue careers that pay well and are meaningful to them. There are two components - a school-year program and learning experience, and a summer internship: -- A school-year program (three quarters: fall, winter, spring) where participants identify professional interests, gain marketable skills, are exposed to various career fields and build their social network; -- A summer internship places young people in work settings to apply their knowledge, gain hands-on experience, develop professional connections and build their resume.
