altPath at the L.A. Youth Expo
On May 31, the altPath team had the opportunity to participate in the L.A. Youth Expo at LA Trade-Tech College. This annual expo is a free, citywide event that connects youth and families with career resources, training programs, and job opportunities.
At our booth, we shared how altPath helps young people discover career pathways all in one place. It was a wonderful chance to meet community members, hear directly from youth, and spread the word about the opportunities and support altPath can offer.
We were also glad to run into our partners at Legacy LA, who were working their own booth at the expo. It’s always encouraging to see fellow organizations showing up for young people in our community.
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect with us, we’re excited to keep building together!
