Exploring Program

What is the Exploring Program?

Exploring is a career program for young men and women ages 14-20. It gives you a “hands-on” volunteer experience in the working world. You actually get to work with adults who are in the profession! This experience looks great on your college applications and resumes. In addition, there are many scholarships and awards specifically for Explorers.

Go ahead and look through our post directory to see if you are interested in any of the Explorer posts! If you have any additional questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact Brenda Bradford at 818-995-1415. Hope to see you there!!

**Please note that this list is subject to change over time.  Several awards and scholarships are available for Explorers.
