This fund was established to support the Taunton Area School to Career (TASC) program, which empowers youth and young adults to prepare for college and meaningful careers by connecting education with real-world work experiences. While TASC receives state and grant funding, these resources alone do not always cover the full range of supports students need to succeed. Donations help bridge the gap between available funding and the expanded opportunities that truly prepare young people for today’s workforce.

Students served by TASC often face barriers such as limited access to professional networks, work experience, transportation, career exploration tools, and mentorship. Contributions allow TASC to provide essential resources including work readiness training, career mentoring, paid and unpaid internships, job shadowing opportunities, transportation assistance, materials for workshops, and individualized career planning. These supports help students build confidence, develop critical life and workplace skills, and make informed decisions about their futures.

Your gift directly supports youth as they transition from school to career by strengthening partnerships between local businesses, schools, and the community. By investing in TASC, you are helping young people gain meaningful work experiences, explore career pathways, and develop the skills employers value most—while strengthening the future workforce of the Greater Taunton area.

Won’t you please consider making a donation to support the Taunton Area School to Career Program and help local youth build successful, independent futures?
