👉 Yo Research, or the Youth Opportunity Initiative, is a program designed to address youth unemployment and underemployment by providing young people with skills training, mentorship, and job placement services. Originating from the University of California, Berkeley, this initiative focuses on equipping at-risk youth with the tools necessary for successful employment through partnerships with local businesses, community organizations, and educational institutions. By offering internships, apprenticeships, and career counseling, Yo Research aims to bridge the gap between education and the workforce, ultimately fostering economic independence and reducing reliance on social services among young adults.
