Youth who have access to programs that promote empowerment, mindfulness, and service-learning are more likely to connect to experiences that increase self-regulation, their value in the community, and exposure to career opportunities. Together with our partners, we fight for opportunities for disconnected youth by:
- Increasing the number of youth participating in high-quality career-connected educational experiences that provide career exposure, strengthen social and emotional health, and help transition them from middle to high school successfully
In 2017-28, our investments provided 2,621 youth with mentoring or tutoring, reconnecting them to school and increasing their likelihood of graduating from high school.
