What is
Exploring is a program that connects youth ages 14-20 with
community businesses and professionals through career Exploring posts.
Our posts contain hands-on activities that authentically show what it is to be a part of a specific career.
Our program is based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education, and leadership experience.
