Exploring is Learning for Life's career education program for young
men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) or 15
through 20 years old. Adults are selected by the participating
organization for involvement in the program. Color, race, religion,
gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, economic status, and
citizenship are not criteria for participation.
Exploring's purpose is to provide experiences to help young people
mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.
Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in
their personal relationships and communities.
Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between
youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community
organizations initiate an Explorer post by matching their people and
program resources to the interests of young people in the community.
The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their
special interests, grow, and develop.
Explorer posts can specialize in a variety of career skills.
Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career
opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education, and
leadership experience.
