Year Up’s mission is to close the Opportunity Divide by providing urban young adults with the skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education. Year Up is a one-year, intensive training program that provides low-income young adults, ages 18-24, with a combination of hands-on skill development, college credits, and corporate internships.
We are in need of volunteers to mentor our students are they start their internships in July. You will build a one-on-one relationship with your mentee and make an impact in a young adults life as they start their professional career. Whether you care about social justice, making an impact in your community or just creating a connection--this is a great opportunity!
