Youth Force

Paid Internships YouthForce partners with businesses to provide teens with internships and professional work experiences. Internships provide teens a view of career opportunities that they would never encounter through typical part-time teen jobs in fast food or retail. YouthForce internships are designed to reinforce teens school performance, personal growth and career aspirations. Counseling YouthForce's intensive academic and career counseling sessions help teens articulate their goals and accomplishments, polish their communication skills, and identify next steps for success which may be volunteering, focused academic efforts, extracurricular participation or employment. Teens engage in a coached interview full of feedback, discussion and strategizing. Teen Employment Trainings. YouthForce provides trainings in partnership with schools and other youth-serving organizations. Trainings help younger teens who are just beginning to think about getting a job, and who are unsure what steps they need to take. Trainings provide developmentally appropriate guidance emphasizing academic achievement, extracurricular activities and service learning as pre-requisites for employment. YouthForce trainings include teaching tools and moderated panel presentations.
