Mission The mission of Enterprise is to engage and empower San Francisco Bay Area youth to discover career opportunities and cultivate their individual interests through training, guidance and employment experiences in a diverse and supportive learning environment.
Description Enterprise for Youth, previously known as Enterprise for High School Students, was founded in 1969 by Gladys Thacher, a non-profit visionary and champion of young people.
Enterprise has evolved from helping a handful of students find summer jobs into an integrated group of programs that combine job-readiness training with career exploration and experiential learning. Thousands of youth, from almost every public and private high school in San Francisco, have learned the skills and values essential to workplace success at Enterprise.
