How do kids aspire to careers they've never heard of? We are addressing that need. We are a multimeda career exploration and inspiration non-profit that creates engaging and informational career content and distributes it to schools who lack adequate career resources and through social media.
We have a college internship program called the Gladeo League where college students from around the country get to participate in content creation. There are 4 types of interns: graphic designers, social media marketers, reporters and video producers.
We are looking for mentors to guide these interns and we are looking for 1-2 graphic design professionals for this summer semester.
Time commitment is 4-5 hours per month. You will be doing the following:
1. 30 Minute Workshop (via Google Hangout) on your industry and how to navigate the industry
2. Review their work and give them tips

Our interns are awesome! They were chosen from a pool of over 50 applicants. They are not just skilled but they also have dedicated themselves to our mission, to help other students find and pursue their dream career.

Mission Statement
Gladeo is a digital media non-profit fostering career exploration for young people from diverse backgrounds.
Description
We created a "Virtual Career Day", an online platform that helps students discover the many career paths by letting them explore the experiences of others through diverse storytelling, learn what steps to take to pursue a particular career and connect them with the necessary resources, content and organizations to pursue their goals. We believe career exploration and education has to start early, especially for underserved students because otherwise, how do these kids aspire to and pursue careers they've never heard of?
