We believe in helping youth become self-sufficient. Through our Find Your Future program, we match young people with employers in our community who give them a chance to build their resume, develop job readiness skills and grow their professional networks.
The young people in our programs work hard to attend college and/or build their careers. Given their circumstances, they cannot afford to take unpaid internships or apprenticeships to build their resumes and develop their professional networks. Through partnerships with local businesses, Kaleidoscope matches youth with paid working opportunities that set them up for future vocational and financial success.
Our Find Your Future Program provides 10-week part-time or full-time paid summer internships and vocational training for current and former youth-in-care who are attending college. When Kaleidoscopes’ clients enroll in this program, we pair them with employers throughout the nation who are committed to offering valuable work experiences for youth. They are also invited to participate in resume workshops, mock interviews, team-building activities, community volunteering and a professional etiquette dinner. With these career opportunities, youth gain valuable experience, build their resumes and make professional connections within their chosen field.
Interns are matched to companies that align with their academic concentration and summer geographic location.
