CAREER COMPASS
Career Compass wouldn’t be possible without the volunteers who drive our students to their host sites! Click the link below for more information about how you can support Garage youth this summer.
The Garage Career Compass is a program for youth between the ages of 16 - 18. It combines a summer-long paid internship with a challenging life and leadership skills development curriculum. Youth are placed individually or in pair at Host Sites, where they participate in part-time, meaningful direct-service activities. Youth serve four days a week, Tuesday through Friday. Service hours range from 20-30 hours a week.
Although Career Compass is a short-term program, our goal is to equip youth with transferable life, work-readiness, and leadership skills, along with the knowledge to actively support their community.
