About CityHills Initiatives

CityHills Initiatives is a youth-led nonprofit committed to equipping the youth with the skills, mentorship, and opportunities they need to rise with courage, build businesses, and lead change.

We believe that every young person carries untapped potential to transform not only their own lives but also their communities. Through mentorship programs, career development support, entrepreneurship training, and financial literacy workshops, we are building pathways that give young people the confidence to dream bigger and the tools to turn those dreams into reality.

Our mission is to empower youth through education, leadership development, skills training, mentorship, and entrepreneurship, creating a ripple effect of transformation and growth.

All I can say is wow! This session has really opened my eyes to the behind the scenes of job applications and I'd definitely start applying these tips...
