Every year, the Fiver Children's Foundation supports diverse high school student leaders through their summer-long career readiness and college access program, connecting them with organizations, companies across industries, and universities. And every year, Google proudly opens its doors, hosting a half-day career readiness workshop filled with enriching experiences as part of its volunteer program called Google Serve.
Last week was no exception. We witnessed firsthand the passion and drive of these young individuals as they explored career paths at #Google and honed their skills for internship interviews. From resume workshops and mock interviews to office tours, we created a day of valuable learning and connections. The energy was inspiring! It's a reminder of the power of community and mentorship. Events like this truly unlock lifelong opportunities for those from underrepresented backgrounds.
Over a decade ago, the same program helped me land my first job after graduating from Lehigh University. That opportunity set me on a path of growth and success that I'm forever grateful for.
I'm proud to be part of this journey, paying it forward and witnessing the impact firsthand. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible Fiver team (Melissa, Jessica, Michèle, and Christie) and the dedicated Googlers (Alyssa, Alexandria, Alexander, Aaron, Keona, Nico, Ida, Teniola, Kelsey, Gabriela, and Tiara) who volunteered their time and talents. Together, we're shaping a brighter future for so many aspiring leaders!
P.S. Our renowned HR Programs Lead, Kelsey, an expert on university programs and DEI, facilitated robust workshops for 55+ students.
