KALCA Public Interest Career Exploration and Mentorship Series 
The best way to explore a career you dream about is to speak with those who are actually living it.  KALCA's Public Interest Career Series will lay the bridge between those who are seeking to enter into public interest careers and the current practitioners (the "Expert Mentors") who want to give back to the community by sharing their valuable expertise and insight.  The Expert Mentors will share practical, grounded and field tested advice and information such as actual daily tasks of the job, best industry specific networking tips and key practices in excelling in that particular field.  If there is a specific public interest career field that you would like to see as part of the series, please email Sandy Kim for consideration.
