Mission & Vision
YouthWorks Inc. builds a community solution to help young people whose potential might be overlooked to pursue employment and career development opportunities
YouthWorks Inc. envisions a community in which:
Youth are valued for their potential and their talents
Youth find the opportunities they need to enter the workforce to develop a work ethic that will lead to a satisfying career.
Employers find that the young people entering the workforce are competent, reliable, have a strong work ethic and enhance their company.
Employers are involved and engaged - they actively seek youth as employees, and view them as key to their future success.
The community responds to the needs of young people who are at-risk of falling into negative behaviors by building their life skills and work skills to become gainfully employed citizens.
Work experiences available to young people are plentiful, high quality, and make positive long lasting changes in their lives.
The YouthWorks Inc. staff are capable, competent and fully trained and able to deliver programs that have a positive impact.
Strong partnerships between the City of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Partnership, Allegheny County Department of Human Services, the Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board, and YouthWorks, Inc. will strengthen services for youth.
