Mission

Charting Careers inspires youth to discover their power and reach their goals through transformative mentoring, life-enriching opportunities, and family partnership and by serving as champions for equity.

Theory of Change

Charting Careers’ theory of change is based on the social ecological model of health, a research-based model emphasizing the importance of simultaneously addressing individual, family, school and community factors in order to successfully prevent problems and promote strengths. With this framework as its guide, Charting Careers offers educational, mentoring, and group programming to address individual and peer needs, family partnership programming to address risks and assets within the family, partners with schools and the Office of Equity, and co-founded and helps lead The Collaborative Supporting Youth.
