Dear friend,
While our partnering schools were on vacation during the summer, the Step for Bulgaria team was preparing for the upcoming school year.
We’ve been busy recruiting professionals and volunteers who will deliver the next series of career orientation workshops for high-school students from underprivileged communities. We have the support of many of the volunteers involved in last school year's careers workshops and have started building a list of people in different career paths who are willing to join our cause and speak about their job and professional path to the students.
Of course, at the same time we are approaching different schools where there’s a need for the type of support we offer and going through the logistical details with headmasters and teachers.
The team has also been contacting different businesses inviting them to join our effort. Our partnership with two large companies operating in Sofia for the previous series of workshops turned out to be mutually beneficial and very inspiring for students, volunteers and the employees of these companies alike. In this way, we are looking to expand our network of volunteers, and with it, our ability to serve more schools.
All of us are very excited to be able to continue supporting high school students in the new academic year through offering them a richer vision for their future where there are many good opportunities. This is all thanks to you!
With gratitude,
The Step for Bulgaria Foundation Team
