Young. Employed. Successful.

([link removed])

This week, the YES Project ([link removed]) campaign at America’s Promise is teaming up with DoSomething.org ([link removed]) to host an Instagram Q&A and live chat opportunity to answer young people’s career questions. From finding their passion, to making professional connections, to landing a job, to growing in their current career, we’ll cover it all! Those who join in will have the opportunity to hear from a young professional from DoSomething.org who hasn’t forgotten what it’s like to make the leap from school to the workforce. Please share with young people in your network, and ask them to bring their best questions and tune in by following us on Instagram.
