Why do we do what we do? Hire Houston Youth serves as the facilitator to connect youth to local jobs where they are empowered with an “earn and learn” opportunity in Houston’s dynamic economy.
Facilitating real-world opportunities to cultivate the skillset of our youth within Houston's dynamic economy.
Connecting young talent to local employment that promises growth and learning in various professional sectors.
Embracing the rich tapestry of Houston's youth, we champion diversity in our programs and partnerships.
“It was not just about the money…but I learned how to take orders, follow instructions, be ready, be on time, and put in a full day’s work for a full day’s pay.”
Your involvement can shape the future of Houston. Whether you’re a student seeking opportunities, an organization looking to partner, or a community member willing to support, your contribution is invaluable.
