Power Lunch (High School or Middle School)
The Power Lunch series was created to connect students in our Gendered Based Programming with influential people, companies and organizations across Los Angeles to give them a real chance to make connections, grow their network and learn lessons from some very accomplished individuals. The idea is that students will only become what they see, and so we try to introduce them to as many diverse types of people and careers to broaden their perspective on the world. Special guests come and talk to a group of students about their path to success and answer questions the students have, and they always have questions.
Power Lunches last about an hour to 1.5 hours and can range from 10-30 students.
Career Symposium Series (High Schools)
The Career Symposium Series was created to target specific students around specific career fields. Instead of career day with hundreds of jobs, we choose one industry or company and target the students who might be interested in that line of work. This provides students with a chance to fully engage with the subject matter at hand. Students self-select themselves based on the industry and come ready to fully participate.
Symposiums range from 25-40 students and last about an hour to 1.5 hours.
NOTE* Both of these types of events are fully customizable to the needs of you and/or your company.
Career Fairs (Middle Schools)
Career fairs at our Middle School engage various different professionals across all different career spaces to share their careers with students. The structure of this event varies from school to school but will usually involve either being on a career panel and talking to groups of students or visiting different classrooms as apart of a series of guests.
Career Fairs range from 20-50 students and last about an hour to 1.5 hours
Host A Field Trip (High School or Middle School)
If you work for a company that loves to engage students about what they do, this can be a great opportunity for you. Bring a group of students to your work, provide them with a tour, some lunch, and a chance to meet the diverse representatives that represent your company.
Field Trips range from 15-40 students, last 4 hours and we ask that your company sponsor a bus and lunch.
