Summer Youth Employment

Summer is when young people either grow or get lost. Our summer youth employment program puts teenagers and young adults into real jobs with real paychecks, real mentorship, and real responsibility.

About this program

Each summer Vizionz Sankofa places youth ages 14-24 into paid employment with partner organizations and local businesses. They earn real wages, build a work history, and learn workplace skills that follow them for life. We pair every young worker with a mentor who checks in throughout the summer and beyond. For many of these young people, this is their first paycheck — and the first time someone showed them what they are capable of.

Who we serve

Youth and young adults ages 14-24 in the Albuquerque area. Priority to youth from underserved communities and justice-impacted families.

Duration

Summer placements approximately 6-10 weeks. Year-round mentorship.
