Career Week Recap February 2024!

𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐏: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐮𝐩

𝑻𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚, our students attended a MoHo Dance workshop called “My Body, My Body, My Body!” They participated in a body positivity activity to Beyoncé’s “I’m a Diva” as well as a “Perfect Canvas” activity to teach them about the subjectiveness of beauty and to break down the stigmas around body types and weight! MoHo Dance is the first and only company teaching mental wellness through movement in the creative arts!

In the afternoon, FSH Alum, Ava, led the students through an interactive maze teaching them how to problem-solve using different perspectives. The goal was to write detailed descriptions of multiple ways to “escape the maze”. They also got a chance to create their gaming characters! Along with problem-solving, our students got the chance to practice their public speaking through group sharing, as well as leadership and team building through group collaborations. There’s never just one way to solve a problem!

𝑾𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚, we kicked off the morning at Barnard College! The students were able to tour the campus and design their very own playgrounds! In the afternoon, MSK came to our Harlem offices to collaborate with our girls on their Breast Cancer Awareness proposals! We had many ideas from musicals, paintings, tabling, etc!

𝑻𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚, our students took a trip to the NHL headquarters. This unique experience provided our students with an exclusive glimpse into the inner workings of one of the most renowned sports organizations in the world. Upon arrival, students were warmly welcomed and guided on a comprehensive tour of the NHL headquarters, where they marveled at the stunning facilities and gained insights into the daily operations of the league. Throughout the visit, students had the invaluable opportunity to engage with staff members from across the league, learning about their roles and responsibilities within the organization. From marketing to content production, students were able to explore diverse career paths within the sports industry firsthand. One of the highlights of the visit was a visit to the NHL’s content production studios!

In the afternoon, The Estée Lauder Companies’ Women’s Leadership Network employee resource group invited our girls to their headquarters for a presentation on the various careers available in the beauty industry, from marketing to product creation! Did you know you could be a cosmetic scientist? Our students became scientists when they participated hands-on in a lipgloss-making workshop. Such a cool experience!

Thank you to every organization/business for empowering our students to be the best versions of themselves!
