Only 1% of young adults who are out of work & out of school will be on the path to a living wage
The Situation
The Greater Memphis area has more than 45,000 young adults, aged 16-24, who are out of school and out of work.
Nearly half of these young adults are in poverty, and only 1% will be on the path to a living wage by the time they are 28.
The Mission
The mission of The Collective Blueprint is to increase socioeconomic mobility for Opportunity Youth by building pathways to thriving careers.
Our Difference
The Collective is the only local organization that is specifically tailored to the needs of young adults.
We provide relationships, resources, and a network of support to help young adults discover and develop their unique talents in order to advance their personal and professional objectives.
