  • Urban Teen received more than $800,000 in funding to introduce more youth across Southwest Washington and Oregon to careers in the manufacturing field.

The Vancouver nonprofit iUrban Teen has been awarded over $800,000 in grants to enhance manufacturing career pathways for youth. This funding, which includes a $750,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Labor and an additional $50,000 from the Oregon Community Foundation, aims to support the organization's efforts in providing hands-on learning experiences, career exploration, and job training in advanced manufacturing.
