    ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION:


    Year Up is a national 501(c)3 workforce development organization committed to ensuring equitable access to economic opportunity, education, and justice for all young adults—no matter their background, income, or zip code.

    Employers face a growing need for talent while millions of talented young adults lack access to meaningful careers.

    These inequities only further perpetuate the opportunity gap that exists in our country—a gap that Year Up is determined and positioned to close through three interconnected strategies:

    providing targeted skills training and connections to livable-wage employment for students and alumni; empowering others to serve and support young adults, and changing systems that perpetuate the opportunity gap.

    Year Up's intensive training program utilizes a high expectations, high support model where students learn in-demand technical and professional skills and apply them during a corporate internship.

    Year Up has directly served more than 40,000 young adults since its founding in 2000.

    Year Up's nationwide presence includes Arizona, Austin, Bay Area, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Greater Atlanta, Greater Boston, Greater Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, the National Capital Region, New York City/Jersey City, Pittsburgh, Puget Sound, Rhode Island, South Florida, Tampa Bay, and Wilmington.

    Voted one of the Best Nonprofits to Work For in the country by The NonProfit Times, Year Up is a rewarding

    and impactful

    place to work. Our staff is passionate, supportive, mission-driven, and committed to positive change and continuous learning.

    We set high standards for both ourselves and our students and live by a set of core values that reflect an unshakable belief in the talent and potential of our young people.

    The work we do is life-changing, and we know that our team is the greatest asset in achieving our mission.


    COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY:
    Year Up embraces diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way. All aspects of employment, including the decision to hire, promote, discharge, or discipline, are based on meritocracy.

    We do not permit discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristics protected by federal, state, or local laws.
