With a shared vision of making a positive impact on society, Our Generation Cares and Jumpstart Long Beach have joined forces to organize a multifaceted initiative that combines direct support for the homeless community with community education and engagement.

Comprehensive Apprenticeship Program
We offer a comprehensive apprenticeship program that provides occupational skills and entrepreneurial mindset development for underserved youth between the ages of 14-24.

That's why we have expanded our mentorship programs to provide one-on-one mentorship opportunities that can help young people navigate the challenges they face and achieve their goals.
Life Skills & Entrepreneurship Training
We provide life skill training, including financial literacy and career planning, learning how to cook, youth car and driver knowledge, to help youth develop a career plan, and achieve financial stability and economic mobility. Additionally, provide specialized training in entrepreneurship to empower young people to start their own businesses and pursue economic independence.
