​

At The Generation Love Project, we provide first-time job training and real work experience to young people facing barriers to employment. Through our cafés, shaved ice stands, and lemonade booths, youth are introduced to meaningful part-time roles in a supportive, inclusive environment.

​

Our program goes beyond a job. We help each participant:

• Create a professional resume

• Build interview skills and confidence

• Develop on-the-job experience under caring supervisors

​

While working, youth gain essential employment skills such as:

• Teamwork and communication

• Customer service and problem-solving

• Cash handling and time management

• Accountability, punctuality, and workplace responsibility

​

We understand that transportation can be a major barrier, so we offer transportation support to ensure every youth can access their shifts and training consistently.

​

🎓 Supporting Education First

We prioritize our youth’s education and future goals. Part-time hours are structured to support school attendance, and continued participation requires meeting specific school-related criteria. Our goal is to inspire young people to dream beyond high school and provide pathways that align with their long-term aspirations.

​

💼 A Foundation for Lifelong Success

Our supervisors are trained to work closely with youth, offering both on-the-job coaching and personal support. This creates a safe space for learning and builds the confidence needed for future success.

When participants are ready to move on, we assist them with:

• References and letters of recommendation

• Job searches and interview preparation

• Goal setting for future employment or education
