The vision of The Collective is that all young adults have the power to live their best lives and the tools to make that a reality. We are a membership organization so young adults help govern strategy and direction. The Collective creates pathways to social mobility in three ways: by investing in young adults, by partnering with corporations to create opportunity and by changing systems to eradicate barriers. We partner with our Leaders to support them in getting to their dreams and to in-demand careers making a living wage. Our yearlong program includes a ten-week intensive program with us, a certification in IT, healthcare or the skilled trades, and placement in a career earning $15/hour or more. We are building career pathways where few exist.
