Welcome to PAVE!

Hello! Welcome to PAVE (Promoting Avenues to Employment)! Our program offers job readiness training, occupational skills training, internships, and other employment and education-related opportunities. Explore this site to find resume and cover letter help, learn more about our services, and more! 

PAVE is a program of New Avenues for Youth, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention and intervention of youth homelessness. Since 1997, our programs and services have impacted more than 20,000 young people as they work to overcome barriers, pursue their goals, and realize their potential. From supporting basic needs like meals and counseling to providing opportunities for education, job training, employment, and housing, we meet youth where they are—and help them get where they want to go. Visit our website for more information.
