Getting accepted into college is an exciting moment for students, but it becomes even more real once they decide where to enroll for the fall! This is possibly one of the first and most significant steps to realizing a first-generation student's dream of getting a degree and using that education to create a better life for themselves and their families.
Our College Access team took a moment to celebrate the next big step for 12th graders at College Signing Day. We also took 11th graders on our Northern California Overnight College Tour. And earlier in the month, we wrapped up the 3rd annual Career Speaker Series to expose our students to career paths and professionals.
Last week, as a part of our College Success Program, Fulfillment Fund hosted “Picture Your Perfect Career,” featuring one-on-one resume and cover letter reviews and professional headshots, thanks to the support of our generous volunteers. This initiative is part of our effort to bridge the gap between college graduation and obtaining a first job in the career field of their choice.
