Showing Up for Students: altPath & Harbor Freight Tools for Schools
At altPath, we’re always looking for ways to connect with students and share resources that can support their journeys toward fulfilling careers. This summer, we had two wonderful opportunities to do just that, thanks to Harbor Freight Tools for Schools.
On Wednesday, July 31, our team joined the Pasadena City College Expo, and on Friday, August 1, we attended the Pacific Maritime Association Expo. Both of these events were career fairs that brought together students exploring their next steps, and we were honored to be there as a resource.
These events gave us the chance to meet students face-to-face, listen to their goals, and share how altPath can support them along the way. Moments like these remind us of the importance of showing up in community spaces where students are making big decisions about their futures.
We are so thankful to Harbor Freight Tools for Schools for inviting us to join in these impactful events and look forward to continuing to show up for students together in the months ahead.
