RSE Career Connections Summit with Slone Partners’ ENVISION invites historically excluded (Black, Indigenous and other People of Color, or BIPOC) high school and undergraduate students to embark on a career navigation journey supported by industry professionals and prospective mentors. In addition to learning about an expanded range of science-related careers, the quarterly virtual summits are designed to provide students with practical career navigation tools and connections to help them embark on their science careers.

Industry professionals who participate in the summits will have the opportunity to introduce their companies and their career journeys, while forging connections with diverse student talent. Interested industry professionals will also learn how to become ENVISION mentors.

CLS is launching its first RSE Career Connections Summit with Slone Partners ENVISION Mentoring Program on August 9 for 50-75 BIPOC high school and undergraduate students and industry professionals.

Join us in supporting motivated middle and high school students this fall! Peninsula Bridge is seeking volunteers for two of our highly impactful mentor programs – our Choice Mentor Program and our High School Mentoring Program.

Middle School/High School Choice Mentor Program

Many of our talented 5th and 8th graders are interested in applying to independent schools, but they often face barriers during the process. The Peninsula Bridge Choice Program supports our raising middle and high school students with test prep, workshops, and financial aid support. 

As a Choice mentor, you will act as an advocate and sounding board for your mentee and his/her family throughout the independent school application process. Your primary focus will be on the life skills developed in the process, such as interviewing and character development, and their implications for continued success in school. 

Time Commitment: 1 meeting per week (1-2hrs), from Sept 2021 to Jan 2022. Mentors are able to set their own meeting times to best fit their schedules. 

Join Us: To join the Choice Program, please sign up here by August 10th. Virtual Mentor Training will take place August 24th at 10am.

Questions about the role and/or commitment? Please reach out to Karen Zamora at karen@peninsulabridge.org.

Event Date: August 1-31

Who We Are and What We Do

The Letter Writing Team (LWT) is a team of amazing Angels who enjoy writing to our heroes, and who know how important it is for the service members to hear their name called at mail call. Sadly some service members get no mail at all from back home. LWT Angels write a one-time letter to a service member who is waiting for adoption through the Deployed Adoptions Team and to those who might need additional support. Angels on this team are required to write a minimum of one letter per month, but can write many more during the month, if they choose!

How You Can Help

Please note: the minimum commitment as an LWT Writer is three months, and you must request a minimum of one name per month.

We look forward to volunteering with you!
