Ra Career Factory

Ra Career Factory is a youth-to-young adult mentoring program serving individuals ages 6 to 25. Led by youth and supported by certified professionals, the program empowers participants through peer leadership and guided development.
Ra Career Factory Program
The Ra Career Factory Program is an interactive, year-round initiative guided by a board of selected experts dedicated to encouraging youth through exposure to diverse career options, college readiness, and financial literacy. The program prioritizes career exploration, education, mentoring, and networking, while strongly emphasizing mental health awareness and motivation toward future goals. The Ra Career Factory Program offers two distinct tracks, tailored to individual interests and age groups.

This agriculture and horticulture-based interactive educational program is family-oriented and open to participants ages 5–25.
