Operation Jump Start

Career Day Highlight 🌟— Day 2 took our students into the world of Engineering and Infrastructure! They started the morning with a Harbor tour, thanks to the Port of Long Beach, and got an up‑close look at the scale and complexity of port operations during a scenic boat ride. In the afternoon, they headed to the Long Beach Courthouse to explore how thoughtful planning, design, and construction come together to create such a stunning and layered building.

Last week’s Mentor 2 Mentor celebration was an absolute blast! 🎉

We love bringing together our mentors, staff, board members, and future mentors for these bi-monthly social hours. It’s a chance to connect, share experiences, and strengthen the community that helps us better serve our youth. 💙

From great food and meaningful conversations to a lively round of Table Topics, the energy in the room was unmatched. Moments like these remind us how powerful connection can be. We’re already counting down to our next M2M in May!👏

Interested in being part of this incredible community? We’d love to have you join us as a mentor. Our network is vibrant, welcoming, and always growing—and there’s a place for you here.
