Career Concepts for Youth is an independent nonprofit, partnership in Phoenix, Arizona between business, industry and civic leaders that encourages young students to stay in school by demonstrating how education can lead to fulfilling careers and lives.

By associating education with jobs that provide excitement, mobility, advancement and public good, school attendance and discipline become more relevant to the student.

Our goal is to make each student a partner in our efforts to reduce the dropout rate and increase the education level of the workforce.
