Your Partnership Matters
Our students’ success is built on the generous financial support provided by our industry partners and the tireless dedication of their employees who donate time, expertise and passion to the young people we all serve. When you partner with EXP, you join a diverse network of Southern California industry leaders who are improving student performance and creating real opportunities for our young people.
EXP makes it easy for your industry or company to make a difference in the communities where your employees live and work. Our programs provide a complete framework for working with schools and hosting interns.
All you have to do is share your time, talent and, we hope, treasure. We do all the rest to expose students to greater opportunities and more challenging experiences that prepare them for college, career and life.
Your role as an EXP Corporate Partner
Hosting internships
EXP students who excel earn paid summer internships with our partners. As a host, you’ll help highly-motivated young people master real-world skills, connect career goals with their work in school and take their first major steps toward a better future.
Mentoring
Your employees will help teach EXP students soft skills, help them discover new opportunities and guide them as they turn their dreams into solid plans for college and careers.
Advisory boards
Each school-based EXP program has an advisory board made up of educators, community members and industry representatives. Joining the teams that design in-school curriculum and job-based experiences builds strong bonds between your business, your employees and the communities in which you work.
Financial support
Our industry partners provide vital sponsorship support for EXP’s year-round work-based learning programs for underserved high school youth via our Oceans of Opportunity benefit event, as well as our annual student career discovery events, such as GPS Your Future or Women in STEM, paid internships, college scholarships and EXP operations. In exchange, EXP is proud to highlight our corporate partners through prominent logo recognition on our website, e-newsletters, social media, and event-related publicity.
“Helping the students opened up my eyes to see what the future could look like for the next generation. I really enjoyed this experience.”
