Our Trip to Los Angeles

David and Joe have both pursued their careers with passion and took the first steps to making their dreams happen. Outside of the classroom they participate in competitions, extracurriculars, community projects, and a vast assortment of activities that allow them to share their skills. The connections they've made online will excel their opportunity in person there. The trip is taking place July 19-26.

 

COVID-19 made opportunity scarce but didn't stop these two from creating for their audiences. This included making content for local communities when COVID-19 stopped in person fundraisers for nonprofits. Their dedication to the community and clear ability to use their gifts to better it paint a positive picture as to how your donation will enrich their future. Need examples?

Meet with local professionals in the music and entertainment industry.
