​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Empowering the Next Generation to Achieve More​

Successful Futures: Workforce Development Program provides participants with access to career exploration, training, coaching and job placement. The goal of the program is for participants to develop work-readiness skills, obtain sustainable employment and attain long-term career success.​

OPEN DOORS TO A BETTER FUTURE

More than 5 million young adults are cut off from the economic mainstream.

The DC Fiscal Policy Institute reported tha​t:

• Black and Hispanic workers continue to be under-represented in t​he workforce.
• Black college graduates have a 5.7% unemployment rate, while non-Black graduates' rate is 1.9%.
• For people without advanced degrees, employment options are often limited to manual labor and unskilled jobs that pay less than a living wage.

Our program seeks to empower young adults to achieve the professional knowledge needed to secure meaningful employment, maintain healthy relationships and strengthen communities.

Your donation​ helps create real access to opportunities for these young adults to change their futures. Each dollar you give provides our students with the professional skills they need to launch careers and reach their potential.
