Vision

Middle school youth will be exposed to various career opportunities to broaden their occupational aspirations to unlock their social and economic potential.

Goals

1. 1.We are prioritizing our after-school and summer programs that re-engage middle school youth while scaling back one-time events and lower-impact initiatives. This focus allows us to deepen impact, strengthen outcomes, and better align staffing and resources with our mission.
2. 2.We are expanding access by increasing program days and opening a second site in the Davidson area. During the school year, we are keeping our afterschool programs at 4 days, and expanding from 2 to 5 days in summer. This expansion allows us to serve more disengaged middle school students and provide consistent, relationship-based support.
3. 3.We are investing in our infrastructure by upgrading technology, improving data tracking, and hiring key staff. These efforts will strengthen program delivery, enhance evaluation, and support long-term growth. We are also diversifying funding to increase sustainability and reduce reliance on a few sources.
