Youth. Work. Connect.
“Social capital – specifically, the degree to which children raised in lower-income families are connected to higher-income people who may provide job opportunities or shape aspirations – is the strongest predictor of economic mobility identified to date.” Raj Chetty
Youth.Work.Connect. exists to help high school youth from underserved communities build social capital to promote economic mobility. We look to accomplish this by providing training, resources, and mentoring to high school students and their counselors, teachers, employers, and youth agencies.
To create a future where every high school student from underserved communities has the social capital and support needed to achieve economic mobility and success.
