MISSION
We are committed to bridging the gap between education and business, guaranteeing careers for our youth of hope and need through supportive relationships, individualized coaching, education, and training.
Our Vision
Every student has hopes and dreams for their future. But life challenges often get in the way and prevent them from staying on course to reach those desired opportunities.
We've created a program with curriculum targeted at holistically preparing students for meaningful careers in quality career options in fields such as health care, information technology, automotive and transportation, trades and manufacturing, and business processes. We work with students to remove as many barriers as possible and illuminate possibility in their lives.

Collaboration

Hope

Programs
We provide individualized support services to help students identify, persist toward, and ultimately enter financially sustaining careers.
