Develop and lead a presentation about your career for Sand Point Housing youth.
About Sand Point Housing
Our Sand Point Housing campus provides permanent supportive housing, affordable permanent housing, and onsite support services for formerly homeless families. Located in Seattle’s Magnuson Park near Lake Washington, the campus includes renovated historic U.S. Navy buildings and newer construction totaling 183 townhomes and apartments. Today, 400+ people – about half of whom are children and youth – live in a thriving community there with onsite support services.
About the Professional Career Guest Speaker Series
Come present about your career to Sand Point youth (ages 12+). Their interests include Cosmetology, Real Estate, and Sports Medicine, but we’re open to hearing from all professions. Individuals with lived experience with poverty or homelessness, nontraditional career paths, trade backgrounds, or varied educational journeys are strongly encouraged to participate. Our goal is to expose youth and young adults to a wide range of possibilities and provide insight into the diverse routes that lead to personal and professional success.
