As many of the learners from our Readiness Institute Summer Discovery know, our connection doesn’t just end after the summer. We continue to stay in touch with learners when they go back for their senior year, after they graduate high school, and beyond. We’ve been checking in with some of the young adults who were a part of program and have now graduated high school and are on to their next steps of adulthood.
Let’s recognize the profound impact mentorship has on building resilience, fostering success, and propelling individuals forward, especially when it comes to Black leaders and educators.
As 2024 comes to a close, the team at the Readiness Institute is taking a moment to celebrate a year filled with connection and growth. Here are some of the highlights.

As the final week of the Readiness Institute Summer Discovery drew to a close, learners took full advantage of the unique opportunities that the program has offered for the last six weeks.
This week, learners focused on innovation for their community readiness skill and explored career pathways in health care.
Week four of Summer Discovery provided some extraordinary moments of learning and exploration. This week’s topics and activities included touring a LEED Platinum–certified building, pitching business ideas, visiting innovative facilities in Pittsburgh, exploring environmental science, and touring advanced manufacturing sites and even delved into mental health literacy.
The third week of Summer Discovery connected learners with opportunities as close as their own neighborhoods and as far away as space. They rolled up their sleeves to work on service projects, welcomed speakers for meaningful conversations and self-reflection, and visited sites that sparked curiosity and inspiration.
