On Wednesday, October 4, 2023 (2pm-4pm), Girl Geek X Community Volunteers will SPEAK ON A CAREER PANEL.
We are looking for folks with non-traditional pathways into tech. Here are some tips for guest speakers at schools and what a previous Girl Geek X Career Panel at CCPA shared.
This event is organized in partnership with the nonprofit Oakland Public Education Fund, which connects groups with schools to make a positive impact on school culture and student achievement through relevant and meaningful volunteer projects.
Our partnership goal is to support students in East Oakland, CA by partnering on a variety of volunteer activities throughout the school year — from volunteering on-campus to field trips to tech companies.
If your employer wants to Adopt an Oakland School for the upcoming school year, please email osv@oaklandfund.org.
