For parents of teens 14 and up
Your teen's first job matters more than it used to.
Graduates who worked during school get hired at nearly twice the rate of those who didn't — and the openings are disappearing fast. Yellowbrik gets your teen working, keeps their documents ready, and turns the experience into something employers and colleges can verify.

AI-built student résumés
Your teen gets a real résumé the moment they sign up, generated from their school record and activities. You review, update, and publish it.
Build my teen's résumé →College acceptance calculator
Enter your teen's GPA and ACT score and see the schools they can realistically get into — with cost and graduate earnings attached.
Try the calculator →Digital work permits, end to end
The state form completed, signed by you and the employer, and delivered — entirely online. No trip to the school office, no printing, no waiting.
Start my teen's permit →Document control
Every document that sets your teen up for success — permits, physicals, insurance, records — tracked, current, and shareable in a tap.
Set up my teen's documents →Work experience during school is now the single biggest predictor of getting hired after it.
And it's getting harder to get in: internship postings now draw an average of 109 applications each, nearly double the year before. Teen workforce participation sits at 33.8%, down from over 50% in the 1980s.

Documents
Everything your teen needs when you're not standing next to them.
You will get the text. It'll say “where's my insurance card.” It'll come while you're in a meeting.
Security
Your teen's documents shouldn't live in a group chat.
Right now they're photos on three different phones, a folder on a laptop, and a copy in a manager's desk drawer. Security was the thing parents told us they worried about most, so it's how we built the product.
Nobody at Yellowbrik browses your family's files
Access is restricted and logged, and support can help you without opening your documents. You can see every time a file was viewed or shared, and by whom.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Every document is encrypted on upload with managed keys and stays encrypted on our servers. Nobody at Yellowbrik browses your family's files.
You decide who sees what, and for how long
Send an employer the work permit without sending them everything else. Shares are one document at a time, and they expire — so a link from last summer isn't still open today.
We don't sell your family's data. Ever.
Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to schools. You can see every time a document was opened or shared, and delete the account and everything in it whenever you want.
Also included
And once they're ready, somewhere to go.
A prepared teen with nowhere to apply is still a teen with no job. So we put the openings and the paths in the same place as the paperwork.
Openings that actually hire teens
Local jobs filtered to employers who hire under 18, matched to their age, their hours, and the season they're not in a sport. Apply with everything already attached.
What this could turn into
Real career paths with the training, pay, and outlook attached — so a shift at a restaurant can become a conversation about culinary school, logistics, or running the place.
How it works
The work permit, start to finish, without leaving the couch.
This is the part that normally takes a week and two trips to the school office. Click through and see exactly what happens.
Tell us about your teen
Everything after this is built from what you enter once. You never retype it for another employer, another season, or another form.
The first job is the hard one. Make it the easy one.
