Exploring Possibilities

Exploring Possibilities is a series of "Career Days", where professionals who want to give back to young people, share their professional experiences and present their career, to enlighten youth about the various paths they can take. Powerful Beyond Measure will present this special day to expose members of the CAPE League and youth from the DC community to adults in 5-6 different professions. Refreshments will be served at lunchtime, during which the professionals will come together for a panel about the workforce or a workshop relating to the theme of the day.

Mission
To provide a vehicle for youth in urban communities of the DC metro area to be exposed to various professions that may generate their interest, inspire them to create goals and guide them towards successful futures.

Purpose
Exploring Possibilities will show young people that exciting, interesting careers are within the scope of reality, by introducing them to professionals who are making their way through various fields. The series will counter the limited scope of professional options that youth may see, and open them to a myriad of occupations to pursue beyond childhood. By showing them these possibilities, they will hopefully see a brighter future for themselves and make decisions that will propel them towards a professional goal.

Execution
For each Career Day, we will invite 3-4 other youth non-profits or programs, to benefit from the information given at this event. The non-profits chosen will be based on their mission and activities, as it falls in line with the theme of the event. Other participants are welcome to come, but encouraged to reserve a space to attend.
