Who We Work With
We support young people ages 14-24 by connecting them to real-world learning, work experience, and support systems that help them move forward.
We partner with schools, educators, employers, and community organizations to expand access to opportunities and strengthen local pathways to education and careers.
Young people in Lane County deserve clear pathways to explore their future, build skills, and feel supported as they plan what comes next.
Connected Lane County helps make that possible.
We offer:
-
Paid internships and job training
-
Help finishing high school
-
Planning for the future
-
Mentorship and career exploration
-
Technology and STEM opportunities
-
Support with basic needs and resources
Since 2014, we’ve supported more than 17,000 young people across Lane County. Our work focuses on expanding access for youth from communities of color and rural communities, and for families impacted by generational poverty, by connecting them to paid work experiences, skill-building, and real-world learning opportunities.
