- Mentorship: Each participant is paired with an alumni mentor who provides guidance, support, and access to professional opportunities throughout the program.
- Field Visit: The course includes a field trip designed to offer hands-on learning experiences and exposure to new environments, broadening participants’ understanding of various topics.
- Advocacy Week: Participants will engage in a week-long program focused on developing and implementing advocacy projects that create long-term positive impacts in their communities.
- Professional Development Week: This week is dedicated to equipping participants with crucial professional skills, including resume writing, networking, interview preparation, and negotiation tactics.
