A LAUNCHPAD FOR LIFE
Job Readiness Training
We help youth transitioning out of foster care and the juvenile justice system prepare for jobs in industries that offer a livable wage, a progressive wage, and a professional work environment.
Entry Level Employment
Through our job placement services, we help our students secure great positions with employers that want to see them succeed and achieve their potential.
Continued Education
Our programs help young adults understand what employers are looking for and obtain the skills necessary to succeed in the workplace.
Professional Mentorship
Employment alone does not make for a sustainable transition into adulthood. That’s why we assist youth in attaining stable housing and provide mentorship throughout their transition.
Opportunities to Give Back
There’s no greater success than overcoming adversity to then help others do the same. We provide opportunities for students to stay connected and help future students succeed.
Support
Having someone believe in and look out for you is sometimes all it takes. Our staff provides the support needed to succeed and the resources needed to thrive.
Let's Work Together
