EXP - The opportunity engine

The Golden Goddesses

Some words from Oakley

The Golden Goddesses consist of EXP's business manager, Golnaz, marketing director, Oakley, program coordinator, Devyn, and program manager, Sandra. (G-O-D-S ...get it?)

We believe in empowering youth with opportunities and experiences that will help them succeed in school, career, and life. Your support can help us deliver EXP's innovative programs and help prepare students for a brighter future.

We also believe in beating our CEO Mary Tran's fundraising goal of $5,000. We cannot get there without your help!

The EXP - The opportunity engine Story

Unlocking Tomorrow’s Workforce. Helping Students Discover Their Future.

Join EXP – The Opportunity Engine for The Future is Working Giving Day, a 24-hour campaign bringing together 13 Orange County organizations to develop a stronger workforce for Orange County.

In today’s climate of economic uncertainty and rapid change, preparing the next generation for the future of work has never been more important.

At EXP, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to discover their future.

Yet many young people lack access to the experiences, mentorship, and professional networks that help them navigate what comes next. Through career exploration, industry mentorship, and paid internships, EXP connects students to real-world opportunities that build confidence, skills, and pathways to meaningful careers.

Because when students can see what’s possiblethey begin to build a future for themselves — and for our community.

Double Your Impact

Thanks to the generosity of the Sharon D. Lund Foundation and the Sun Family Foundation, every dollar donated will be matched up to $20,000.

Your gift today will go twice as far in opening doors for students.

Your Gift Creates Opportunity

Your support helps students:

• Explore careers and industries
• Connect with mentors and professionals
• Gain hands-on learning experiences
• Access paid internships that launch careers

Your gift today opens doors that can shape a student’s future for a lifetime.

Together, we are helping ensure Orange County’s workforce remains strong, resilient, and prepared for the future.
