College Directions
This year-long college readiness program supports teens by helping them to develop and meet their postsecondary goals through college advisement. Our college program has a life-long impact: 95% of the participants go on to enroll in college, and many of whom are the first in their family to do so.
Youth Internship Program
We offer paid internships, that are either for one semester or the entire school year, in fields such as education, healthcare, senior services, media, and environmental stewardship.
The Youth Internship Program follows an asset-based, comprehensive youth development model which addresses the needs of today’s youth.
Applications are now open for the 2024-2025 school year. Head to our Teen Internships page to learn more about our offerings and how to apply.
