Enterprise for Youth is a San Francisco–based nonprofit organization that supports young people through training, guidance, and employment experiences designed to help them explore and prepare for career opportunities. Its programs blend job-readiness activities with experiential learning, including internships and job shadowing, while also offering career and college counseling and access to a large job bank focused on high school students. The organization serves local youth across San Francisco’s public and private schools, aiming to build confidence, foster supportive mentoring relationships, and enable pathways from high school to adulthood through education and work. Founded in 1969 by Gladys Thacher, Enterprise for Youth has grown into a longstanding platform that combines skill development with real-world workplace exposure, and it has recently expanded with leadership changes and new collaborations, reflecting ongoing efforts to broaden youth outcomes in the region.
