Year Up Puget Sound- Enrolling Students Now!

Year Up Puget Sound is a one year career training and college credit program located downtown by the Space Needle that serves 18 to 24 year old low-income youth who have a high school diploma or GED and legal right to work in the US.  Our organization began in Boston in 2000 and has now expanded to 9 sights in major cities across the country. Our Seattle office opened for its first class in March 2011. The program provides young adults with 6 months of college level courses around Business Communications, Information Technology and Professional Skills and 6 months of internship experience with our corporate partners such as: Google, REI and Children’s Hospital.  During the entire program students are given a weekly stipend to help support living expenses and at the end they receive 18 hours of college credit, corporate experience and invaluable connections around the community. We are currently enrolling students for our third class which will start in the beginning of March.
