Youth Enterprises Foundation

Youth Enterprise is a screen-printing ministry organized to help at risk teens develop job and life skills.

Youth Enterprise is designed to help teens navigate life by helping them develop job skills. Ours is a hands on program that allows students time to learn the process of screen-printing, pays them for their time, assists them with their academics through a tutoring program, and mentors them year-round.  

Students who are involved spend 10-18 hours a week participating in the program and stay for an average of 21 months. While we are not affiliated with any particular school or district education is an important piece of our program. With Youth Enterprises's help students involved in the program are graduating from public schools at a rate of 93%. When looking at current graduations rates in the city that are slightly above 50% and minority graduation rates that are slightly under 30%, 93% is a great achievement for the program. 93% is a life changing achievement for those students. 

Your generosity will help us continue training and equipping young people to enter the workforce with skill-sets that are more advanced than their peers and more valuable to employers.
