Exploring

A Program for Career Education

Worksite-Based Learning

Exploring is a worksite-based program. It is part of Learning for Life's career education program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old.

Exploring's purpose is to provide experiences that help young people mature and to prepare them to become  responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal realtionships and communities.

Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate a specific Explorer Post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community.  The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their career interests, grow, and develop.
