About Us

     CollegePath LA is a community organization of volunteers who help public high school students explore careers, apply to college and thrive once they get there. We are developing a model project at John Marshall High School, an urban school in the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Volunteer Opportunities
     Career workshops in 2021 will be via Zoom, but our goal is the same: to introduce students to a collection of seasoned career professionals. If you have a passion for what you do and want to share your experience with students, please contact us.

     This year we are adding a new program: job readiness skills. High schools no longer teach students how to create a resume or prepare for an interview. We need help now reviewing student resumes and will later send out a request for interview coaches.

     We will provide Zoom training, materials, and other support. If you are interested in participating, please contact Susan Philips.
