Nashville, the vibrant heart of Tennessee, thrives with music, innovation, and growth. Yet many young people aged 16-26 in underserved communities face barriers like high youth unemployment, limited access to education and skills training, and challenges in mental health and economic stability. Programs such as the Tennessee Youth Employment Program (YEP), POWER Youth Summer Initiative, and organizations like Preston Taylor Ministries, Oasis Center, and the Youth Opportunity Center provide crucial support through jobs, mentoring, and after-school activities.
Despite these efforts, a gap persists: Many youth lack holistic, integrated guidance that combines financial literacy, personal development, resource navigation, higher education pathways, nutrition, and mental health support with real-world entrepreneurial skills.
