Empowering young people to prepare for and discover career opportunities
Supporting the future at work by providing young people access to paid internships.
Enterprise for Youth is a central employment resource, where youth learn job-readiness skills and soft skills — and practice those skills in supportive, paid internships. Through ongoing professional development workshops, youth build a strong network of peers, colleagues, and mentors.
"I think this internship is amazing on multiple levels. It allows students to not only get an opportunity into the work field, it also has helped the environment so much!"
-Annie, National Park Service Intern 2024
