I was empowered to delve deep into my potential. The rich resources helped me to land my first professional internship as an operations intern. I gained many professional business skills from my first internship, and it allowed me to reach my full potential in terms of skills such as marketing/sales, management, and project organization. I was in love with the company culture and its community value that I was blessed to work with.

Success is When Talent Meets Opportunity

As part of UNITE-LA’s goals for 2023, they plan on expanding their career pathway programming to include a new Cleantech Academy, offering students exposure and pathways to careers in the environmental and clean energy sectors.

They hope to raise $75,000 from new donors. If UNITE-LA can meet this goal, the Kresge Foundation, a long-time funder of UNITE-LA, has committed to unlock an additional $75,000 in unrestricted funding for the organization.

$1,500: Helps provide a student with a one-year college scholarship

$4,000: Helps a young person to explore potential professions through a 160-hour paid summer internship
