Urban Alliance Foundation

Urban Alliance connects high school students to equitable, inclusive careers through paid work experiences, mentorship, and professional development.

We work with schools and employers to address systemic barriers to economic mobility for young adults of color and to bridge the gaps between education and workforce development for all young people.

In partnership with over 200+ employers, we level the playing field for young people in the workforce by equipping them with the tools to overcome the systemic barriers that prevent equal access to economic opportunity.

Our signature High School Internship Program provides skills training, mentoring, and paid internships to high school students that keeps them connected to school or the workforce.

We’re empowering high school students to succeed through paid internships, formal training, and mentoring across the nation. 

Our national staff and regional teams currently serve students in Baltimore, Chicago, Greater DC, and Detroit.
