Exploring Futures offers career exploration and early exposure to career opportunities, including careers in STEM, to middle school students during the school year and summer of 2024! With the support of ExpandED Schools in collaboration with DYCD and Hats and Ladders, all Beacon, SONYC, and Cornerstone sites serving middle school students are required to implement at least five hours of Exploring Futures programming, which can be reached through career exploration curriculum activities, career exposure events, or a combination of the two components.
