SUMMARY:Bay Area Round Table: Virtual
DESCRIPTION:For many young people\, the chapter after high school graduation brings new independence alongside very real questions about identity\, belonging\, finances\, family expectations\, and long-term direction.  \nAt Summer Search\, we recognize that there is no single definition of success after high school. While many of our students pursue college\, others choose community college\, work\, gap experiences\, or alternative pathways. What unites them is not the specific route they take\, but the leadership skills\, self-awareness\, and confidence they build along the way.  \nWe invite you to join our next Roundtable Conversation featuring Summer Searchers who will speak candidly about their lived experiences. They will share what surprised them about life after high school\, what felt challenging\, how they made key decisions\, and how mentorship supported them through moments of transition.  \nTogether\, we will explore:  \n\nHow students define success for themselves after high school \n\n\nThe emotional and practical realities of stepping into postsecondary life \n\n\nHow consistent mentorship strengthens agency and resilience \n\n\nWhat young people say they truly need during periods of change \n\nThis conversation offers a chance to listen directly to students as they reflect on this pivotal chapter in their lives. We hope you will join us for an honest and thoughtful dialogue about what it takes to move forward with intention and confidence.  \n  \nDate/Time: Thursday\, May 14th | 5:00PM PT\nLocation: Zoom

SUMMARY:Boston Deep Dive Dialogue: Mentoring
DESCRIPTION:Deep Dive Dialogue: Mentoring\nJanuary 29\, 4:00 – 5:00pm ET\nIn honor of National Mentoring Month\, we’re hosting a 1-hour Deep Dive Dialogue virtual event on Thursday\, January 29\, 2026 at 4:00pm EST focused on mentoring at Summer Search and our depth mentoring model. These dialogues bring together a small group of Summer Search supporters\, staff\, and students for an engaging discussion and closer look at our work. \nThis conversation will explore the mentoring gap facing young people today and how Summer Search supports students through long term\, relationship driven mentorship. While mentoring is proven to support student success\, many young people\, especially those from under-resourced communities\, still lack consistent access to mentors. Summer Search is committed to modeling what meaningful\, sustained mentorship can look like. \nEvent Details / Highlights\nDate and Time: Thursday\, January 29\, 2026; 4:00-5:00 pm\nLocation: Virtual (Zoom) \nQuestions?: Please contact Sam Larkan\, Director of Development at slarkan@summersearch.org \n\n\nRegister now!\n  \n\n\n \n\n\nBOSTON COMMUNITY PAGE
