Operation Fresh Start empowers emerging adults on a path to self-sufficiency through education, mentoring, and employment training. OFS programs offer youth and young adults’ opportunities to gain meaningful, supported work experience, earn a high school diploma or occupational credential, and continue on to higher education and/or self-sustaining employment.

OFS programs are designed for a critical time in life: the transition to adulthood. They provide a path forward for emerging adults through mentoring, education, and employment training. OFS program participants earn their high school diploma, driver’s license, and certifications in the construction and conservation fields, and gain college/career readiness skills. Program participants are all also giving back to the community – building affordable homes for low-income families, and completing conservation projects and environmental justice work in city and county parks.

After program completion, OFS staff continue to support program graduates as they transition into post-secondary education and/or self-sustaining employment.
