CAREER COMPASS
The Garage Career Compass is a program for youth between the ages of 16 - 18. It combines a summer-long paid internship with a challenging life and leadership skills development curriculum. Youth are placed individually or in pair at Host Sites, where they participate in part-time, meaningful direct-service activities. Youth serve four days a week, Tuesday through Friday. Service hours range from 20-30 hours a week.
Although Career Compass is a short-term program, our goal is to equip youth with transferable life, work-readiness, and leadership skills, along with the knowledge to actively support their community.
