JFY Alumni Association

In 2021, the JFY Alumni Association was established to create ongoing support to youth who have transitioned out of the JFY Program. The JFY Alumni Association helps members build professional connections, further develop professional skills, and supports the next generation of JFY scholars in achieving their higher education dreams. If you are a recent Alumni who has just aged out of the program, we invite you to join this empowering community! The Jobs for Youth (JFY) Alumni Association is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The JFY Alumni Association’s goal is to help members build professional connections, develop professionally and give back to our San Mateo County community. Our vision is to create opportunities for learning, employment, and growth for success with our community!

COLLABORATE

We are creating fun mixers to help all network professionally and informational interviews to help you explore different career paths. Join us to learn more.

CONTRIBUTE

We are exploring different opportunities to contribute to our San Mateo County community and invite you to be part of this important conversation to help us amplify the voices and needs of our marginalized youth. In 2021, we came together to raise funds to fully sponsor one $1500 Jobs for Youth Al Teglia Scholarship. In 2022 and 2023, we came together to fully sponsor two $2000 Jobs for Youth Al Teglia Scholarships.
