10 Young Adults. 10 Career Pathways.

Help Merge Opportunities raise $25,000 to support 10 underserved and system-impacted young adults as they move toward sustainable careers.

Why Your Gift Matters

Young adults transitioning from foster care, impacted by the justice system, or growing up in underserved communities often need more than a job opening.

They may need training, mentorship, transportation support, professional development, employer connections, and continued coaching after they are hired. Merge helps bring those pieces together so a job opportunity can become a lasting career.

Every gift helps provide the structure, support, and opportunity needed to turn potential into progress.

What Your Gift Supports

Why Merge

Founded and headquartered in Long Beach, Merge Opportunities prepares underserved and system-impacted young adults ages 18–28 for sustainable careers.

Many of the young adults we serve are transitioning from foster care, justice-impacted, or come from low-income communities where access to stable career opportunities is limited.

Through workforce training, apprenticeships, professional development, employer partnerships, job placement, and continued support after hire, Merge helps young adults move from barriers to lasting careers.

Opportunities change everything.

One opportunity, backed by the right preparation and support, can change the direction of a young person’s future.
