Students’ Lives Just Got Brighter.
The Harraseeket Foundation is proud to announce a new program called
Imagining Your Future
Combining the best of the Career Pathways Programs we’ve offered over the years!
We are launching a pilot program for Herndon High School students in grades 10-12 who benefit from additional guidance, access and support.
Students will…
Work with a trained mentor over the course of an entire year
The mentor will listen and guide them in personal and professional development
Receive guidance in assessing and planning for postsecondary options (work, trades, military, college)
Explore options for their future by engaging in a variety of “at work” experiences, including informational interviews, shadow days, networking opportunities, employer panels, and internships
Interact in engaging activities with their peers!
Did you know….
Your personal career story and experience could open doors to a teen’s future! Get involved by:
Becoming a Mentor (commitment is primarily 30 minutes 2x / month)
Offering a field trip, shadow day, internship or other “at work experiences” at your workplace
Granting a 30-minute informational interview to a student interested in your field
Volunteering for an event such as a career panel or workshop
High school students from Wakefield HS and Arlington Tech learning journalism skills before interviewing voters on election day 2023. These students are mentored by our partner Arlington Independent Media (AIM). Harraseeket supports AIM students with internships stipends.
Internships and At Work Experiences
A key component of the Imagining Your Future program is offering internships and other hands-on work experiences that help students explore career paths, develop real-world skills, gain confidence, and build professional networks. These experiences play a crucial role in preparing students for success after high school and beyond.
