FROM FIRST JOB TO FUTURE OPPORTUNITY.
For many young people, a first job is more than a paycheck. It's an opportunity to build confidence, develop responsibility, and discover new possibilities.
Through our mobile food and beverage operations, Slushy Box ATL provides a hands-on workforce development environment where participants gain practical experience in customer service, communication, teamwork, business operations, and workplace expectations.
Our goal goes beyond providing a first job. We're helping participants develop the skills, experience, and confidence to prepare for what comes next.
CREATING FIRST-WORKPLACE EXPERIENCES FOR ATLANTA YOUTH.
Through the City of Atlanta Summer Youth Employment Program, Slushy Box ATL has provided employment opportunities for nine young people across 2025 and 2026.
As an employer partner, we provide a supportive environment where participants gain hands-on experience in customer service, teamwork, hospitality, and daily business operations while developing skills that prepare them for future employment.
ONE EMPLOYER CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY. A COMMUNITY OF EMPLOYERS CREATES A PIPELINE.
Through our presence in the Saltbox entrepreneurial community, Slushy Box ATL is connecting young people with business owners and expanding access to real-world workplace experiences.
By bringing employers, mentors, and community organizations together, we're creating pathways that extend beyond a participant's first job.
FROM FIRST JOB TO FUTURE CAREER.
Slushy Box ATL is developing an apprenticeship pathway aligned with the U.S. Department of Labor's Registered Apprenticeship framework.
Our goal is to connect participants with industry training, hands-on experience, and long-term career opportunities through employer partnerships.
