Enterprise for High School Students is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so your generous donation is tax-deductible.

Why Donate? Your donation to Enterprise for High School Students opens new horizons for young people. With teen unemployment at an all-time high, many students never have the opportunity to develop fundamental workplace skills at this critical point in their lives.

Donating to EHSS gives San Francisco youth the life-skills and training they need to remain in school, stay engaged and become productive members of society. They not only acquire job skills, they develop self-confidence, optimism about their futures, setting them on course for success in life and enabling them to serve as role models to their peers.

Imagine how much more we can do, and how much more our young people can become. Your donation can make it happen:

$50 Provides a student with workshop materials in our Pathways or
This Way Ahead job-readiness training program

$250 Gives one student access to the EHSS job bank for four years

$500 Provides two students with stipends for This Way Ahead

$1,000 Enables one student to participate in the Junior Caddie Program

$1,500 Sponsors one full-time summer Career Exploration Program internship

$2,500 Employs two students in the summer gardening program

$5,000 Provides 30 students with college and career counseling

$10,000 Provides summer-long employment for a crew of eight students in our Summer Gardening Program



Imagine the possibilities if we harness the potential.

What I enjoy most about being an EHSS job counselor is being able to empower young people and watch them grow in confidence.

High school students in general are at a vulnerable point in life: they feel all kinds of pressure, and have reasons to doubt themselves. Work is one of the greatest ways to build self-confidence. It's not just a paycheck, although that's a big part of it. It's also all the new skills they acquire, the independence, and the ability to contribute to their families and society.

We truly believe in young people and in their potential. Watching the transformation that happens to students over the course of our program is nothing less than inspiring.
