Life After High School

Programming Pillars: Empowerment, Community and Healing

​

The Research: Among youth ages 18 and 19, a higher percentage of Black youth (16 percent) were neither enrolled in school nor working than youth who were Hispanic (12 percent), of Two or more races (10 percent), White (9 percent), and Asian (4 percent). 

​

Our Approach: Work with recent high school graduates who are not enrolled in college to identify and build toward a personal and professional goal using tools identified in our sessions. We equip participants through a series of workshops geared towards deepening their understanding of self, setting goals for their future, and learning from professionals of color, life coaches, and mental health experts.
