Exploring is a co-ed program for youth aged 14-20. The purpose of the program is to check out a career YOU are interested in. Exploring is a career-education program that allows you and your friends to learn more about a particular career through hands-on activities led by people out in the real world. We serve youth through partnering programs in a five county area (Monroe, Ontario, Wayne, Seneca & Yates Counties).

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.
