The motivation to build the program comes from our shared experience of career as a force for good. If you find the right path (and get lucky), it can mean doing work that’s interesting and rewarding with people you like and respect. The wrong path is hard, frustrating and demoralizing. The purpose of the program is to give students their first sense of what some of the right paths for them might be, so that they can dig deeper through classes and internships and ultimately first jobs. It also offers the beginnings of a network of people who can help along the way.

We partner with schools and non-profits to recruit a diverse mix of talented and motivated students. Donors fund scholarships for students who would otherwise be unable to participate.

As you can see from the video below, our presenters offer real-world perspectives on a wide variety of careers paths, so that participants can start to zero in on what they are intrinsically interested in, in time to make choose a major and pursue relevant internships. Student interact with the presenters during and after the sessions, providing valuable networking opportunities that can jumpstart an early career.
