Pledge to make a difference, together.
Our Vision: All Sonoma Valley teens are prepared for future opportunities.
Our Mission: Teen Services Sonoma engages and supports teens and young adults with work-readiness skills and experiences that empower them to succeed.
Since 1991, we have worked with Sonoma Valley schools, local businesses, and other youth-serving organizations to provide work-readiness skills and experiences that prepare teens for successful employment in a career of their choosing. There are three phases to our approach:
Engage - Building comfort, trust, and self-confidence in a safe environment with caring adults at one of our two drop-in centers: The Teen Center and the No Name Cafe.
Employ - Through our Ready to Work program, we provide work-readiness training, work-based learning opportunities, job placement services, and coaching.
Empower - TSS teens gain the skills, experiences, and confidence to succeed.
Our programs include the operation of micro businesses, work-readiness and on-the-job training, and job placement services. Our process allows teens to gain practical experiences, helping to prepare them for meaningful careers in trades, occupations, professions, and small-business ownership.
