Project Title: College Intern Support
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Exploradoor is an Indiana-based nonprofit led by two, minority women, that focuses on youth development in marginalized communities. We bridge the gap that exists for Black and Brown youth in aspiring to and pursuing further education or certifications. Oftentimes, students graduate from high school with little \u201creal world,\u201d career-based experience. Without support in finding these opportunities, it can be challenging for students and families to even know where to begin when looking for internships, apprenticeships, academic camps and other enrichment opportunities. These challenges are compounded for students from low-income or underrepresented backgrounds who often lack the resources or culture capital to identify educational and enrichment activities outside of the classroom. <\/p>\n
Through our one-stop website and centralized human-outreach approach, Exploradoor directly connects youth (ages 13-18+) with opportunities based on their individual interests and expands their knowledge of career opportunities. Exploradoor also provides its own work-based learning experiences for college and high-school students via Exploradoor internship programs. <\/p>\n
Exploradoor.com features over 125 programs. Over the past 12 months, we have had over 30,000 visitors and made over 3200 connections to programs. We also visited\/presented at over 30 school\/community events. The demographic makeup of our platform users is 50% black, 20% Hispanic, 14% white, 7% Asian and the remainder other. More than half of our users identify as low-income. <\/p>\n
We are requesting a grant of $7500 to help cover the costs of college student internships over the course of 2024. We seek to fund stipends for college interns to work part-time at a rate of $15\/hour for 500 hours over the course of the year. Our college interns focus on community and school in-person outreach (via presentations and tabling events), research and collection of youth development information, and assist with creating marketing materials and processes for our high school interns.\n<\/p>\n
