Partner With Hearts to Build the Next Generation of Talent

Give a young person the opportunity to learn, grow, and explore a career through Hearts to Nourish Hope’s Work Experience (WEX) Program.

We partner with local businesses and organizations throughout Georgia to connect young people ages 16–24 with temporary, paid work experiences in their areas of interest. Your business provides hands-on training and guidance, while Hearts employs and pays the participant—at no cost to your business.

  • Each placement lasts approximately 100 hours, giving participants valuable workplace experience while they develop skills and explore potential career paths.

    Participants coordinate their schedules with their host business and may work up to 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week, within program guidelines.

  • As a worksite partner, you help a young person turn career interests into practical experience. Your role includes:

    • Providing on-site training, supervision, and direction.

    • Offering meaningful tasks that help participants build workplace skills.

    • Coordinating a work schedule with the participant.

    • Helping participants learn about your industry and workplace expectations.

    Businesses may choose to hire participants after they complete the program, but there is no obligation to do so.
