Overview

Mission

Youthworks' mission is to build a community solution to help young people whose potential might otherwise be overlooked to pursue employment and career development opportunities.

What it reported doing in 2012

From short-term training to year-round employment and career exploration, youthworks fulfills its mission in four significant areas of service to youth, ages 14 to 25: youth employment opportunities, work readiness training, career exploration, and resources for youth development agencies and practitioners, which include grants, work readiness curriculum, and professional development that ultimately benefit our region's youth.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
