Mission Statement
Enterprise for Youth empowers under-resourced San Francisco youth to reach their potential through transformative paid internship experiences supported by a community of employers, caring adults, and peers.
About This Cause
Enterprise for Youth envisions that all San Francisco youth are prepared for their professional future and become successful members of society. Since 1969, Enterprise for Youth has continuously provided San Francisco youth life-changing employment services and opportunities. Through our workforce development programs, we foster economic independence for young people and support them on a path to economic mobility and prosperity. Each year, Enterprise serves 500 young people, ages 14 to 21, through a full range of employment resources. Our three-phase program model includes job-readiness training, paid internships with college credit, ongoing career development, and networking support. Enterprise’s job-readiness training program leads directly to paid, professional workplace experiences across a range of sectors and is linked to college coursework with City College of San Francisco. We provide support for youth throughout high school and into college through a multi-year internship model, career development workshops, leadership training, access to our job bank, and membership in our alumni network. Enterprise provides the framework for youth to develop their own networks of peers, mentors, and colleagues—invaluable resources in life. At Enterprise, we envision a more equitable society. Our ability to train youth and place them into paid internships provides an important continuum of services and improved outcomes in their professional development through high school and into college.
