About Be Your Own Hero

 Be Your Own Hero, Inc. 501(c)(3) is a non-profit organization whose headquarters are in Western New York. Our mission is to serve as the bridge between education and employment for young adults. 

We were founded by the partners of APA Solutions, a human capital and recruiting company, in 2009. With their years of experience matching adults with careers, they uncovered a prevalent need among our youth to gain self-awareness and the careers that are available. 

Today, the work landscape is changing at a rapid pace, and we are focused on helping educators stay up to date on these trends and help young people gain the skills that are most needed by employers. 

We have had remarkable success in educating job seekers in the nuances of the new economy, as well as in viewing their careers as the adventure they own – hence the name “Be Your Own Hero.”
