Pathways to Success: Empowering At-Risk Youth for a Brighter Future
This grant will support EXPOSE's initiative to provide at-risk youth, particularly African American and Hispanic minorities as well as other underserved populations, with comprehensive educational programs. These programs include workshops that expose students to high-profile careers, such as those of surgeons, and equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to envision and achieve a brighter future. By broadening their perspectives and aspirations, EXPOSE aims to empower youth to become proactive contributors to society.
