Project Youth+ is a Southern Oregon nonprofit dedicated to helping youth thrive in school, careers, and life. Through personalized guidance, mentoring, career exploration, financial education, and wraparound support, we help young people overcome barriers, discover their strengths, and build pathways toward brighter futures.
Southern Oregon youth are at the center of everything we do because their voices, goals, and potential shape our programs and strengthen our communities.
Goals
- To support youth in learning about themselves and applying this self-awareness toward school and careers.
- To help youth reach their full academic potential, and to prepare them for a successful transition from high school to college and the workforce.
- To connect participants to the local partners that can best serve their academic and job placement objectives.
- To provide the financial training and support that participants need to achieve their savings goals.
