On #NationalInternDay, we would like to recognize our 2024 Opportunties for All Intern, Nashali De La Rosa. This summer, Nashali has been a GIANT help with our ballpark fundraising - including activations at the Community Clubhouse and our 50/50 Raffle. Opportunities for All (OFA) provides access to career exploration and workforce development for San Francisco’s youth and young adults. The initiative includes paid internships, mentorship, and pathways to employment, including job readiness, career training, and apprenticeship for participants ages 13 to 24. OFA focuses on equitable access to these opportunities through workforce connection, support and job resources for both jobseekers and employers alike. Special thanks to our friends at Bank of America and the San Francisco Mayor's Office for their support of youth in our community.
