Edge Program

At Boys & Girls Clubs, we understand the importance of equipping teenagers with the skills and experiences necessary to navigate the world of work. Our innovative program is designed to provide teenagers with both the practical training and hands-on practice they need to explore various career options. This comprehensive approach ensures that teens not only gain valuable work experience but also develop a robust understanding of different job roles and industries.

Our program goes beyond mere training; it actively connects teens with local partner businesses, creating meaningful opportunities for them to apply what they've learned in real-world settings. By matching teens with these businesses, we help them build their resumes with substantive experiences that can set them apart in the job market. These partnerships are carefully curated to ensure that both the teens and businesses benefit from this collaboration.

For partner businesses, this program offers a unique advantage: access to a network of motivated, trained, and entry-level employees ready to contribute to their growth. By participating in our program, businesses not only support the development of the future workforce but also integrate young, energetic talent into their teams. This symbiotic relationship fosters a community where both our teens and local businesses thrive, further reinforcing the Boys & Girls Clubs commitment to youth development and community engagement.
