ENGAGE / FOR COMMUNITY & WORKFORCE PARTNERS

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO CLOSE THE WEALTH GAP.
JOIN OUR WORKFORCE MOVEMENT.

Yes2Jobs serves as the central connector between education, industry, and community — activating partners across Los Angeles to build economic power for BIPOC youth.

The most powerful workforce development happens when schools, employers, community organizations, and youth programs show up together — for the young people who need it most.

Yes2Jobs is converging partners across innovative nonprofits, high-growth employers, and underserved, talented youth communities into a coordinated ecosystem built to dismantle the systemic barriers to economic justice. We are an organic complement to the work you are already doing — amplifying it with career discovery infrastructure, AI literacy tools, and industry connections your organization can leverage to deliver deeper career outcomes for the youth you serve.

If your organization recognizes the urgency of what our young people are facing — we feel it too. And we believe the most powerful response is a coordinated one.

Let’s scale our collective impact.

WHAT PARTNERSHIP LOOKS LIKE

Flexible. Mission-aligned.
Built around your community.

Co-Programming Initiatives

Jointly designed initiatives that serve overlapping youth populations. We bring the workforce development infrastructure. You bring the community trust and access.

Embedded Cohort Models

Yes2Jobs can embed our career training directly within your organization's existing programming — serving your youth participants without pulling them away from what you have already built.

Resource Sharing

Speakers, mentors, employers, technology tools, and training resources shared across partner networks — multiplying the impact of every investment both organizations make.

Referral Partnerships

Connect your youth participants to Yes2Jobs cohorts, career resources, and our Alumni network. We handle the training and career development — you keep the relationship.

PARTNER WITH US

Let’s start a conversation

Whether you are a program director, executive director, workforce development specialist, or community organizer — if you serve BIPOC youth in Los Angeles and believe in economic justice, we want to hear from you.

Because zip codes should no longer determine economic opportunity — and that is a problem none of us can solve alone.

Let's build the solution together.

TAKE ACTION

Let's build a workforce solution together.

Whether you're a student ready to compete, an employer ready to hire, a teacher ready to refer, or a donor ready to invest, there's a seat for you.
