We're the staff behind EXP's work. And we work every day to ensure students have access to real career pathways. We've seen how powerful the right connection or experience can be. From career exploration to mentorship and real-world experiences. That's why we're participating in Future is Working and raising $5,000 in 24 hours. To reach more students and open more doors. We invite you to be part of the impact. Give now and help us reach our goal!

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.
