Launching One Teen at a Time

          Success Starts Here

Where at-risk teens start in life does not have to dictate where they end up. Whatever type of challenges they are facing—foster care, poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, neglect, or abuse—with the right support we can help them find a fresh beginning.

American Access Institute's technology-centered program offers communities in need a plug-and-play way to scale help for thousands of young people who don't have the support they need. We are on a mission to empower at-risk teens by providing them with skills, tools, and mentorship to thrive in today's digital world. And we need your help.

We do not want to see these teenagers vulnerable to homelessness, human trafficking, sex trafficking, or other dire outcomes.
We envision a world where everyone, regardless of their background, has access to the resources and support necessary to build a bright and successful future.

We offer cutting-edge training that explores right-fit pathways so there's
a plan in place when teens turn 18. They explore options like trade schools, military, technology upskilling, entrepreneurship, and more. Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to be engaging, hands-on, and directly applicable to today's job market.  

We mentor live and train other trainers with partner organizations, providing Helper Guides to
make it super easy. We use the Catapult platform to provide engaging, animated content that includes interactive Tableau content. This offers best-in-class insights, pulling from real-time US government data via the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
