CLAAY supports the future workforce by empowering motivated youth to define, pursue, and achieve their individual career and educational goals through one-on-one career mentoring, academic tutoring, and related programming.

CLAAY attacks these problems in two fundamental ways, through Career Mentoring and Basic Skills development. CLAAY utilizes trained adult mentors to help students overcome the barriers to 'job readiness'.

Mentoring takes place during the school year from September through May. Mentors spend an hour twice a month with students and utilize the CLAAY curriculum and toolkit to guide students through themes of career literacy. The curriculum was created in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Public Schools Department of Career and Technical Education.
