Our Work

Youth Solutions is a nonprofit organization committed to providing Michigan’s youth the support and experiences that prepare them for their futures. Youth Solutions aims to ensure every youth in Michigan has access to career-focused education through our targeted services:  Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates (JMG), Youth Solutions (YS) Foundations and Connecting Careers to the Core.

 

Youth Solutions was established as a 501(c)3 organization in 2017 but has been serving in this capacity, operating programs that focus on youth ages 11-24, since 2008.
