I didn’t even hear the word “job shadow” until my sophomore year of college. At Saturday Academy, pre-college students in Oregon and southwest Washington get the opportunity to interact with community experts and experience professional environments in ways that assist them in developing intellectually and preparing them for rewarding careers. Like take your child to work day, but better. You (the student) get to pick who you want to work with based on what you’re passionate about!
Founded in 1983, Saturday Academy provides instruction to more than 145,000 students with innovative programs open to second to twelfth graders. These engaging sessions provide motivated students hands-on, in-depth learning and problem solving skills by connecting them with community experts as instructors and mentors.
Their emphasis on math, science, engineering, technology and healthcare makes Saturday Academy a great fit for CafeGive. We look forward to helping them fundraise so they can continue to be an integral part of the future these children will live and work in.
