EXP - The Opportunity Engine

EXP helps young people gain experience, unlock doors and build the confidence they need to succeed in school, career and life.

Our programs help schools deliver innovative, career-based curriculum that makes classroom learning relevant and exciting. During the 2024-2025 school year, EXP programs serve more than 8,400 students in 14 high schools across 5 school districts and more than 20 unique industry pathways throughout Southern California. 

Our success depends on our unique ability to bring industry and schools together to solve problems and overcome obstacles that prevent students' access to education, experience and opportunities. More than 400 industry leaders serve as EXP volunteers, mentors, and internship hosts.

By helping schools and industry work together, EXP is changing how society prepares students for life and bringing genuine opportunity to every young person we can reach.
