ALIGN works alongside youth, families, educators, employers and community leaders to remove barriers and expand opportunity across our islands.
Training and professional development for educators, employers, nonprofits and community organizations.
Youth and young adult opportunity: workforce readiness, leadership, advocacy and employment pathways.
Community participation, events, workshops and the partnerships that hold them together.
Program design, consultation, advocacy and systems change with long-term partners.
Most barriers aren't personal — they're built into how a hiring process, a classroom, a program or a public space was designed. Those are fixable.
ALIGN works with the organizations that hold those designs, and alongside the people they affect, so the change lasts after the workshop ends.
ALIGN sits between the people who want to participate and the institutions that shape whether they can — connecting both to each other.
