Helping youth in the Greater Pittsburgh area become work-ready and career-focused.
Since it’s founding in 1994, YouthWorks has provided more than 20,000 youth with career exploration, training, and employment. YouthWorks is a key advocate in the Greater Pittsburgh region for the employment and training needs of low-income, at-risk youth. A recent study reported that youth who participate in the YouthWorks programs are significantly more likely to graduate high school and attend post-secondary education. YouthWorks is a partner of The Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board (TRWIB), an employer-driven, policy-making entity for Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.
YouthWorks serves more than 1,200 youth each year, providing them with critical career building experiences such as employment, job readiness training, job shadowing, career development workshops, and job tours. Also, through strategic partnerships, YouthWorks provides training and professional development for youth serving agencies.
