Career exposure brightens potential paths ahead, provides hands-on experience, and empowers students to earn while they learn. Your impactful $1000 donation underwrites summer internship placements and allows students to choose valuable experience over dead-end, minimum-wage jobs.

Carlos from Lake Worth High School beautifully summed up his 10-week experience with Tradestation: "I am a more rounded individual and have more knowledge in trading and technology."

This illuminating experience expands horizons, inspiring aspirations, and providing a clear vision of future educational opportunities. Your generous $500 donation funds a transformative college campus tour for a student!

These tours are more than just visits; they are catalysts for students like Jeilyn to visualize their future. As they walk through college grounds, surrounded by PTC alumni who mirror their potential, the realization dawns - they too can belong and thrive in these environments.

Our mentors are thoughtfully recruited, professionally trained, receive the necessary background screening, and are paired with deserving high school students. Your $100 contribution directly shapes a brighter future for current Path to College students and our alumni.
