CTYM Scholars Step Into the Health & Beauty Industry

Where Career Exploration Becomes Transformation

At CTYM, we believe exposure is the gateway to opportunity. When young people see what’s possible, they begin to believe in their own potential—and that belief reshapes everything.

Our Career Readiness Pathways open real doors for students by placing them inside professional environments where they can touch, try, and test future careers. This recent hands-on experience at a local spa introduced our scholars to the world of esthetics, skincare, client care, and entrepreneurship. What began as curiosity quickly evolved into confidence as students learned from licensed professionals, practiced real techniques, and discovered new passions.

This is the heartbeat of our mission: empowering youth with skills, exposure, and mentorship that change the trajectory of their lives.
