CareerVillage.org is a non-profit organization that helps high school students get career advice online from real-world professionals. We work with educators in low-income communities to help students surface questions about their future, and then automatically email those questions to working professionals with relevant experience. Professionals can then answer those questions from any laptop or smartphone, giving students the inspiration and education they need to make better decisions about their futures. CareerVillage is a young organization with a game-changing program and is focused on scaling to serve hundreds of thousands of students nationally. A simple, appealing program - Students: Ask any question about any career any place any time. Receive answers from real professionals! - Professionals: Get relevant questions by email or by browsing the website. You decide if, where, and when to answer. There’s no commitment and you can answer any question from any student. One piece of advice could change hundreds of lives! - Educators: Use our lesson plans, materials, and engagement dashboards to bring career exploration to your students! What makes CareerVillage.org so special - Scale: Designed for scale from the ground-up with technology as a core strength. - Impact: The easiest and most impactful online volunteer program in America. - Team: An inspirational founding team ready to create a nation-wide movement.

The Opportunity Network (OppNet) equips high school and college students with the skills and experiences to harness their power and passions to thrive through college and career.

Through robust college counseling, intentional engagement with leaders and professionals across industries, intensive training in networking, and experiential learning in various career paths through five summers of internships and enrichment programming, our students are able to harness their agency to achieve their academic and career goals.
