Beautiful Day is a Providence-based nonprofit social enterprise with the mission to cultivate connections between refugees and the public through business endeavors, training, and education.
Our youth program provides paid, hands-on training in job-readiness where young people learn skills for succeeding in the workplace. From October to June, youth ages 15-18 participate in a weekly 2-hour seminar at Beautiful Day and an 8-hour per week internship with one of our community business partners. Our seminar focuses on enhancing time management, team work, communication, and problem solving skills. We also assist youth in creating resumes and embarking on job searches.
