G.R.O.W.

Growing Real Opportunities in the Workforce (G.R.O.W.) trains educators to empower their students to align who they are with what they want to do. G.R.O.W.'s curriculum does this by taking students through a fluid process of self-awareness, exploration of careers, and the tools for students to be able to achieve their goals. Research has shown that programs that focus on career education and strengths-based self-assessment can help prevent dropouts and increase students’ academic performance. We reach youth at a critical time in their development, embed confidence in their ability to contribute to society, and introduce careers in emerging sectors that most youth are unaware of. G.R.O.W.’s programs were developed to empower underserved and at-risk youth to take ownership of their education, careers, and futures. We help students identify their internal compass before starting the career preparation process. By doing so, students have a clear understanding of where they are headed and why.
