2024 Speed Mentoring Recap
On March 20, 2024 we hosted our seventh annual Speed Mentoring event! 75 high school students from Anchorage and the Mat-Su engaged in small-group mentoring sessions with 17 high-level professionals representing a variety of career fields. Mentors shared their experiences and provided insight into options following graduation.
This event would not have been possible without our sponsors: ConocoPhillips and Northrim Bank; our in-kind sponsor: Anchorage School District; the incredible mentors and students who attended this event, teachers who helped coordinate student registration and transportation, and our dedicated AKWorld volunteers.
Thank you to our generous event sponsors for 2024 Speed Mentoring!
