Fund-A-Need
Fund-A-Pathway
From Classroom to Career: Building the Next Generation of Skilled Workers
Every young person deserves a clear path to a successful future. Yet for many high school seniors, the transition from classroom to career can feel uncertain, especially when traditional college pathways are not the right fit or when financial and other barriers stand in the way of meaningful employment.
Youth Pathways to Workforce, recently launched by Peninsula Family Service, is creating another path forward. This 20-week career readiness program prepares high school seniors for rewarding careers in the skilled trades through industry certifications, career readiness, financial empowerment, and direct connections to registered apprenticeships.
Help Build a Pathway
By supporting Youth Pathways to Workforce, you are helping students gain the credentials, skills, and connections they need to take their next step.
100% of the proceeds from the Fund-A-Pathway will directly benefit the young people participating in this PFS program.
