Each week, participating professionals volunteer one hour of their time to lead hands-on activities that introduce students to real-world career paths. These sessions give students a chance to explore fields like technology, healthcare, engineering, culinary arts, and more—through engaging, age-appropriate lessons rooted in real-life experience.

By tying classroom learning to real-world possibilities, students begin to see how their interests and skills connect to future career options. They gain exposure to practical skills, build confidence, and start to envision what’s possible for their future.

“When students get early exposure to different career pathways, it helps them start to see what’s possible for the future,” said Lisa Shore, Principal of Conley Elementary School. “It builds confidence, sparks curiosity, and gives them a reason to connect what they’re learning in school to their own interests and goals.”
