Build job and internship opportunities
Our students come from a low-income neighborhood where there are few people to provide leads to jobs or model a wide range of career choices. By the time they are in 10th grade, many students are looking for jobs to help support their families. Cabrini Connections seeks to be the channel through which students find their first job and develop their long-term career goals.
Our goal is to create a network of business people, volunteers and others who organize age-appropriate activities, such as job shadowing, part time jobs, internships and summer employment activities. We hope to build and maintain long-term job and career networks that provide job interviews and career mentoring to youth as they grow older.
