Leveling Up

Driven by the notion of “a hand up, not a handout,” Year Up Greater Atlanta provides underserved youth ages 18 to 24 with an intensive 1-year training program to help them move from minimum wage to a meaningful career. Students spend the first six months in a classroom environment and learn professional and technical skills like business communications and app development, then earn a six-month internship with a corporate partner such as Cox Enterprises, Inc. Support the nonprofit by signing up to speak to a class, become a mentor or tutor, and more.
