Our Peer to Peer Youth programs are designed to connect young people with mentors and other resources in their community. Through these programs, we can help youth gain confidence, build communication skills, and learn life skills that will help them succeed in their future.
Financial Education & Asset Building
We offer a range of resources to help participants improve their financial literacy and save money. We provide skills training, budgeting tools, and access to financial products such as savings accounts, certificates of deposit, or credit cards. We also provide guidance on investing in order to build wealth over time.

We support youth in finding employment and provide guidance for career development. We offer youth job skills training, connections to employers, job search assistance for teens, and resume writing help. We connect youth with mentors within their field of interest who can provide additional resources and guidance.
Youth Development & Leadership Training
Our programs promote personal growth by providing opportunities for youth to explore their interests, gain knowledge and skills, build relationships, and develop resilience. We offer education on topics such as financial literacy, communication and life skills, conflict resolution, leadership development, and health awareness. Through our programs, youth can develop the confidence to pursue their goals in both academic and professional settings.
