This program supports existing programs that provide career exposure, training, mentorship, and/or work-based learning opportunities, to youth and early career emerging professionals that are underrepresented in the arts and creative sector; so that those who have historically experienced barriers to accessing these careers are job-ready as the economy recovers and stabilizes.

OG Cares Labs #YouthAtWork
To address the negative impacts both disadvantaged youth and first generation entrepreneurs experienced due to COVID-19 related closures, interruptions, losses, and new health protocols - we introduce our youth dedicated programs, and support recovery of the arts and hospitality sector. We provide job training and educational opportunities for foster care youth and at-promised youth ages 14-24 while innovating and/or rehabilitating low-income or disadvantaged businesses in marginalized communities.
