“PROJECT SELF was an amazing opportunity that allowed me to get experience that I would not be able to obtain in any other job. I recommend this program to every high school student.”

– PROJECT SELF Intern

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Assists at-risk, transition-aged youth ages 16 and older in identifying their career interests and completing career training at a designated 4- year University, trade school, technical institute, or community college program.

Mandatory workshops that highlight different educational pathways and teach important life skills. Internship placement opportunities at Law firms. Internship placement recruitment begins every Spring and is not guaranteed.

Throughout the program, intensive case management services are provided to assist youth in overcoming barriers and achieving their goal of financial independence.
