EcoLogik Institute Receives $275,000 to support Youth Internships

We’re honored to announce that we’ve been chosen for the Youth Workforce Grant Program! 🎉 This opportunity will allow the EcoLogik Institute to continue our work on diversity, equity, and creating meaningful pathways for young people to succeed in STEM careers. We are grateful to be a part of this initiative that’s transforming lives here in San Diego.

The Youth Workforce initiative funds collaborative approaches to streamlining the transition from school to career for young adults aged 16-26. These internships give young adults the skills, training and support to:

  • Be successful in the workplace

  • Grow a current career sector

  • Earn and learn while building their social and professional network, particularly for youth who do not normally have access to paid internships .”

“The dedication of the EcoLogik Institute is truly inspiring, as it helps San Diego’s emerging workforce discover their purpose and develop essential skills,” said Grant Oliphant, CEO of Prebys Foundation. “We are deeply thankful for the internship opportunities they provide, which empower our young people and open doors to a brighter future.”
