First Session of “Beyond Boundaries: College & Career Prep Talk Series,”

We launched the first session of “Beyond Boundaries: College & Career Prep Talk Series,” aimed at equipping our senior high school and college scholars with knowledge and guidance to inspire them to explore diverse course and career paths.

The event featured insightful talks from:

Ms. Monica Aclan, our very own Deputy Executive Director, shared her journey from the hospitality industry to the development sector in a presentation titled “From Heels to Sneakers.”

Ms. Melissa Bendanillo, our Social Worker, discussed “Social Work Surprises: From ‘No Idea’ to No Regrets.’’

Ms. Flora Mae Tatoy, also a registered Social Worker, presented “I am a Social Worker, Of course, I can do…”

Attendees also received college application forms and an interest checklist to aid in their course selection. Here’s to empowering our scholars for success!
