PROJECT

We connect professionals’ life stories with secondary school students, bringing them closer to new role models to facilitate awareness of training and professional options and thus foster vocational discovery.

SYNERGY

Corporate volunteers from companies such as John Deere, Lilly, Twilio, Fitch Group, Fundación Telefónica share stories of overcoming challenges, effort, reinvention and learning—personal, educational and professional—with YMCA youth and students from various educational centers.

I really enjoyed meeting all these people; lots of interesting stories that inspire

3rd year secondary student

Going back to my 15-year-old self and going through what the last 35 years have been is an excellent exercise to connect with young people and be able to guide them in the search for their path

PROJECT ACTIONS

In a speed-dating format or round tables, volunteers share their training and professional experience with students as a way of bringing them closer to options they were unaware of, and letting them learn firsthand the stories of effort, perseverance and dedication behind each person. The lack of professional role models among young people is one of the biggest gaps in their vocational discovery.
