Enterprise for Youth

With the support of JPMorganChase’s Force for Good program, we spent the past few months building a stronger system to help us better understand youth progress and outcomes. This collaboration has already enhanced how we measure success and strengthened the way we serve our youth now and in the future. With these enhanced dashboards, we now have clearer insights, smarter decision-making, and an even stronger foundation of support for the incredible youth we serve. This upgrade is already helping us deepen our understanding and amplify our mission. 📊🚀 To our amazing JPMC volunteers, your talent, dedication, and heart made this project possible, and we are incredibly grateful. 🙌 #EnterpriseforYouth #DCYF #OEWD #YouthWorkforceDevelopment #TechForGood #CommunityPartnerships #SocialImpact #NonprofitInnovation #ImpactMetrics #YouthEmpowerment

We are remembering the extraordinary life of Eva Auchincloss, former Executive Director and beloved supporter of Enterprise for Youth, who passed away this weekend. A true trailblazer, Eva broke barriers throughout her life—from becoming the first woman to run for Millburn, NJ’s Township Council, to leading Schnell Publishing while raising her daughters, to championing women’s sports as the founding director of the Women’s Sports Foundation and an advocate for Title IX. After moving to San Francisco, she continued her lifelong commitment to service through leadership roles with Enterprise for Youth and numerous national and local organizations. Her home became a welcoming community hub where young people found mentorship and support. Eva’s legacy lives on in the institutions she strengthened and the countless lives she touched. She will be remembered with deep gratitude and love. https://lnkd.in/gRhfSVwt

At the S.F. International High School Career Fair, students had the chance to explore new career paths, connect with industry professionals, and gain meaningful insight that could shape their futures. Hosted in partnership with Anna Clenshaw and Emma Vieira of the Cinta Aveda Institute and Rueben Jimenez and Summer Gorman Petersil, MBA of Amazon Web Service (AWS), this experience went beyond a traditional career fair, focusing on real conversations, student-led interviews, and authentic stories from professionals. After a short student-led tour, participants rotated through Q&A sessions where youth asked about career paths, education, and day-to-day work life. Students walked away with valuable insight into fields like cosmetology and software development, sparking new ideas and expanding their vision for what’s possible. We’re grateful for this incredible opportunity to help young people explore career paths in a personal and empowering way! 🚀 #DCYF #OEWD #CareerFair #CareerExploration #YouthEmpowerment #FutureWorkforce #CareerReadiness #TechCareers #CosmetologyCareers

✨Young people had the opportunity to learn about different aspects of the fintech industry from Upgrade, Inc. and received valuable advice from the team on how to build a strong financial future.✨ 💡 “Start investing when you are 18 even 50 a month.” 💬 “Think about the best next step and don’t be afraid of failure.” 🌟 “Don't give up on what you are passionate about, continue to pursue.” These insights remind young people that it’s never too early to start planning for their financial future and pursuing what they love.
