Workforce Readiness

Career Launch is our job readiness and professional development program, which offers a variety of activities to hone teens’ decision-making, problem-solving, and critical-thinking abilities: important skills for workplace success. Youth who go through our Career Launch Program complete activities that help them prepare for their first job or plan their career.

Money Matters, our financial literacy program, empowers youth to make informed financial decisions now and in the future. As youth progress through the program, they learn how to create a budget, access their credit report, and plan for larger financial decisions, like college. Teens who complete Money Matters show improved financial management skills, including saving money and sticking to a budget.

The Club Leaders-in-Training program is a job readiness, character development, and service-learning program for high school members at our Clubs. Participating teens take part in professional development workshops, resume/portfolio development, and are provided hands-on work experience. Successful completion of the Club LIT program connects youth to summer employment opportunities and provides them with lasting leadership skills.
