Bridging Horizons: Exploring Careers Through Hands-On Mentorship

This spring we are launching a new series in partnership with NorthPoint Foundation.
Pro Deo’s workforce readiness series and summer internships not only prepare teens for success—they open doors to experiences, connections, and possibilities that can transform their lives.
The goals of this series will help teens gain real-world experiences, develop essential skills, like communication, teamwork and problem-solving. Teens will have internships and mentorship opportunities available to them, as well as, networking opportunities with professionals in a variety of career fields. This program will help teens break down barriers by offering scholarships to cover transportation, training and work attire needs. But most importantly, we hope all teens will build confidence and independence as they prepare for adulthood while they achieve their dreams and contribute to their community in meaningful ways.
While we are excited for the path this program can set forth for teens, we are also excited for the benefits the Workforce Readiness Series will have on our community and business partners. Providing internships can lead to permanent employment for the teens or recent graduates. By training the next generation of workers, you are investing in the future workforce and ensuring a pipeline of motivated and diverse talent. Together we can strengthen this community, because when teens succeed they grow into adults who contribute to society in meaningful ways, reducing systematic challenges over time.

Becoming a community partner with Pro Deo isn’t just an opportunity to make a difference—it’s a chance to build meaningful connections and empower teens to envision and achieve brighter futures. Your time, guidance, and support could change a young person’s life forever. Join us today and help shape tomorrow’s leaders!
