Educate and inspire young people by volunteering in a Career Round Table. Volunteers present first-hand work experiences in diverse fields all while having the chance to talk about their careers and the paths that led them there.
No need to prepare anything - just bring your energy and willingness to help a young person!
There are nearly 80,000 youth disconnected from work and educational opportunities in the Bay Area. New Door Ventures prepares these young people (ages 16-24) for success in work and in life through paid employment opportunities, educational support, job readiness workshops, and personalized case management in our three-month program. We are looking for community professionals like you to participate in our volunteer-powered, skill-building workshops.
Our Career Round Tables can deeply impact a young person. You can help improve their professional skills, confidence, and knowledge of the workforce. Gain experience educating youth in your community while working for a cause.
We'd love to have your help!

Mission Statement

Description
New Door Ventures is an early intervention Employment and Education Program for Bay Area transition age youth (TAY) youth ages 16-24 who are disconnected from or weakly connected to work and school. Our mission is to prepare TAY for work and life, by providing the jobs, training, education, and support they need to discover and achieve their potential so that they can transition to independent adulthood. With our hundreds of partners, we strive to help young people trapped in cycles of intergenerational poverty and racial inequity attain meaningful employment and academic success. Our program supports BIPOC and low-income TAY with a comprehensive approach: skills training in small, balanced youth cohorts; meaningful paid internships with one of our 100+ diverse community employment partners, with placements reflecting youth interests and capabilities; 1:1 case management; innovative youth compensation structure; support service referrals; opportunities for placement in living wage-track jobs.
