CREATE ·2023 Grants ChallengeInclusive Career Guidance and Life Planning for Students
Get Focused, Stay Focused works with schools across Los Angeles to help close achievement gaps, empowering students of all backgrounds to explore the full range of possible career options while countering harmful social messages that reinforce structural inequity. The core of our program is a semester- or year-long curriculum, typically implemented in ninth grade, that helps students develop a 10-year life plan through personal reflection, a self-assessment of individual strengths and skills, and career exploration research.
