Planning today for the leaders of tomorrow 💭✨

“It’s important because they’re at a pivotal age where reflection and planning will fully affect the trajectory of their journey.”

— Sanaa Igbokwe, Career Success Coach

This week’s spotlight: our Launchpad students are reflecting on their values, goals, and future paths through the Post-Secondary Planning Blog Project.

They’re mapping their next steps, learning how to manage their time, and strengthening the soft skills that prepare them for college, careers, and beyond. 🚀

We’ll be sharing highlights every Workforce Wednesday this month — stay tuned for more stories of growth and self-discovery! 🌱

🎮 Smash Bros Showdown: Passion vs. Future! 💥

It was an intense battle, with both sides giving it their all — but in the end, Future took the win 2–0! 🏆🔥

Huge shoutout to Team Passion for the heart, energy, and sportsmanship they brought to the match — and to Team Future for securing the victory!

Every round was electric, every play was bold, and the spirit of the game was alive from start to finish. ⚡

GGs all around — we can’t wait for the next one! 👊💙

This summer, Syriana Gil put her skills to work 💻✨

During a 6-week internship with RYLA, a startup redefining social networking around authentic relationships, Syriana:
📊 Led user research through surveys + interviews
🚀 Tested new platform features + supported product engagement
🎉 Helped plan events + create content that builds community

Through hands-on work with founder & CEO Meredith Tretiak, Syriana gained experience in digital marketing, UX research, and community management — all while contributing to RYLA’s mission of building tech that empowers people.

Now, she’s continuing her journey in LiftOff, building on her internship to prepare for high-wage, high-demand careers. We’re proud of her creativity + initiative, and grateful to RYLA for investing in the next generation of innovators. 🖤

They talked college, careers, and what life after high school really looks like — and our students left inspired. ✨
Grateful for this community that always gives back 💻🚀
