Hello,
We are reaching out to connect with you in regards to ABCD’s Youth Services programs. We provide youth between the ages 14 - 25 years old opportunities for work development opportunities, including soft skills development, trainings, college courses, certificates, and internships. Each year we seek partners to provide a meaningful work experience for our youth and we are hoping you will consider to be one of them!
