Save the Date: December 3rd - Giving Tuesday
What is #GivingTuesday?
#GivingTuesday refers to the Tuesday after U.S. Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a movement to create an international day of charitable giving during the holiday season.
Last year we were able to serve 1,580 individuals (more than ever before) thanks to the generosity of our supporters. By donating this #GivingTuesday you #GiveOpportunity to motivated job seekers looking to change the trajectory of their lives.

Thank You, Corporate Volunteers!
Within the past few weeks we have been spoiled by generous corporate
volunteers from BBVA, Chevron, and Wells Fargo. Volunteers held mock interviews with
our Administrative Careers Training program interns, helping our interns gain real-life interview experience and providing individualized feedback.
This experience is invaluable since our interns are currently interviewing as part of their job searches.
