EXP - The Opportunity Engine

EXP - The opportunity engine helps young people gain experience, unlock doors and build the confidence they need to succeed in school, career and life.

EXP is a Southern California 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our programs help schools deliver an innovative, career-based curriculum that makes classroom learning relevant and exciting. During the 2023-2024 school year, EXP programs are made available to nearly 8,400 high school students at 14 Southern California high schools and select OC Pathway schools.

Our success is driven by our expertise in bringing industry and schools together to solve problems and overcome obstacles so that students from underserved communities receive access to education, experience, and opportunities. More than 800 industry leaders served as EXP volunteers, mentors, and internship hosts and contributed nearly 3,700 volunteer hours for School Year 2022-2023.

By helping schools and industry work together, EXP is changing how society prepares students for life and bringing genuine opportunity to every young person we can reach. Read our story here.
