As a program and event planner, I was responsible for co-creating a curriculum and lesson plan that fit the diverse needs and backgrounds of opportunity youth.

To empower youth from diverse backgrounds using outreach and educational enrichment. The organization aimed to deposit empowerment by fostering leadership skills, self-confidence, and a sense of community engagement. The ultimate objective was to increase access to education and employment opportunities, addressing systemic barriers that disproportionately affect marginalized youth.
To elevate engagement, the lesson plan & calendar employed a strategic blend of theoretical sessions, workshops, group discussions, and hands-on activities. Student volunteers kept up a relatively high-energy atmosphere, while also providing mentorship as relatable role models. Our team organized regular feedback sessions to ensure continuous improvement.
