Intro
Empowering CBOs to provide paid work, wraparound supports, and mentorship.
Community-Based Partners as Connectors
Community organizations extend learning and work-based opportunities beyond school walls. Our model empowers CBOs to:
- Deliver paid internships, apprenticeships, and industry “Excelerators.”
- Provide wraparound supports like housing, health care, and transportation assistance.
- Mentor and guide youth through individualized career navigation.
We provide CBO staff with professional development, networking opportunities, and tools for sustaining partnerships with schools and industry.
