The Change 1 Summer Youth Employment Program provides young adults with paid work experience, career readiness training, mentorship, and leadership development opportunities designed to prepare them for long-term success.
Through hands-on learning and supportive guidance, participants gain the confidence, skills, and exposure needed to navigate adulthood, employment, and future career pathways.
The program supports young adults ages 16–24, including youth transitioning from foster care and those seeking workforce development support and career guidance.
We partner with businesses, organizations, and community leaders committed to investing in the next generation through internships, mentorship, workshops, and sponsorship opportunities.
Whether you are looking to apply, partner, mentor, or support the program, we invite you to help us create meaningful opportunities for youth.

Every young person deserves a chance to thrive.
Your donation helps us provide mentorship, life skills, emotional wellness, and healing spaces for youth and young adults impacted by foster care.
Whether it’s $10 or $1,000, your gift creates real change—one life at a time.
