Individual Volunteer Opportunities
Enterprise for Youth seeks individual volunteers on a rolling basis for our youth programs. Volunteers can support by conducting mock interviews and informational interviews, providing feedback and edits on resumes, or conducting professional development workshops including cybersecurity or financial literacy.
Volunteer opportunities are primarily held at Enterprise for Youth’s Career Lab in downtown San Francisco or at high schools throughout San Francisco.
Corporate Volunteer Opportunities
Enterprise for Youth offers companies the opportunity to volunteer as a team with high school-aged youth in support of our mission to empower under-resourced San Francisco youth to reach their potential.
We offer several ways for employees to give back to young people in the community.
Visiting different types of workplaces exposes our San Francisco youth to a variety of career options they may not have considered before. This can help them explore their interests and passions and provide valuable insights into potential career paths.
We are seeking in-person engagements at our downtown Career Lab or at your office location.
