Fly Together

Luminaries Career Coaching

As a matched mentoring program for young adults ages 18-23, Luminaries Career Coaching offered professional coaching to help jumpstart dream careers over the course of three months for free! Those who participated received monthly career coaching from Step Up's network of mentors in three mentoring sessions, during which they set goals and defined what success looks like for them.
