PROGRAM

AIM-N-INSPIRE

As a social impact agency, participants receive advanced technical training, mentorship, certification, and on-the-job training upon completing our pre-apprenticeship program. We help youth build confidence, mitigate learning loss, cultivate transferable skills, and close the digital divide by preparing vulnerable youth for the workforce to create long-term power and sustainability.

Better Youth works with employers to provide Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) solutions for companies in the creative economy. In this partnership, we offer media arts programming and access to youth and communities devastated by systemic racism, discrimination, and generational divestment.
