Community Service Opportunities
Pull Up Community Events
These events allow self-motivated teens to connect with young professionals in a casual and non-intimidating environment. Both young participants and parents will get a chance to learn about top-of-mind topics, develop networking skills, and build organic relationships in a low-risk environment.
Day In the Life
Participants will get a chance to have a one-on-one interview with a senior leader in the profession of their choice. Opportunities range from full-day shadowing to virtual coffee meetings and are created to give youth exposure and insight on how to reach their career goals.
Partnership Opportunities
As TRUE Change expands to more Career and Technical programs, we are looking to partner with local businesses interested in cultivating young talent and producing skilled-labor employees that will be more emotionally, financially, and socially competent.
Employer donation matching, donor-advised charitable giving opportunities, and individual donations are also welcomed and encouraged.
Please contact us directly for partnerships, sponsorships, or in-kind donations.
