A free search tool for finding afterschool, summer, and youth development programs, useful for parents job hunting who need childcare coverage and for anyone looking for youth-serving program work.
Why I recommend it: I keep this on hand because childcare is one of the most common invisible barriers my clients face during a job search. Solve the schedule first and the search gets a lot easier.
How to Use Tech to Engage Young People in Career Navigation
JFF and Britebound research on how youth reengagement centers use digital tools with opportunity youth — what works, what pushes young people away, and how to keep tech people-centered.
In plain terms: This research report explains how youth centers use online tools and one-on-one coaching to help young people find career paths. You can learn how these programs support young adults with skills assessments, job exploration, and training options.
Why I recommend it: For anyone running a youth program: the finding that matters is that tools help only when a trusted adult is attached to them.
