Hey Teens!

Have any of you heard of #YearUp? Or even BETTER - is anyone here a graduate of #YearUp? I wanted to share a bit about my experience as a Year Up mentor:

What is Year Up? Year Up is a one-year program that helps teens and young adults gain skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their full potential in their professional careers or college.

The year consists of 2 parts: 1. Job-readiness classes like 'how to use Excel' and 'how to prepare and send out a resume’ 2. An internship at some pretty big-name companies! My mentee, Jordan, worked at John Hancock Financial. Some of his friends had internships at Harvard University and Fidelity Investments. This gave him great experience to put on his resume!

Why should you consider Year Up?

As a mentor, I worked with Jordan throughout his year at Year Up and witnessed first hand how life-changing this experience can be for teens! He went from having no work experience to graduating from the program and landing a great customer service job at Reebok.
