More than just a gift, Airbnb's contribution of 50 laptops will change the lives of the next cohort of first-generation, low-income high school students in Close the Gap Foundation's 2022 Social Impact Fellowship Program.
With its fourth annual Social Impact Fellowship, Close the Gap Foundation is doubling down on its strengths and fine-tuning its recipe for facilitating a transformational program for first-generation low-income students.
With its second partner program with Forbes Under 30, Close the Gap Foundation is proving the power of deep partnership and community building in tackling the network and opportunity gaps for first-generation, low-income students.
The third annual Social Impact Fellowship concluded on September 12 with Pitch Day, where 30 first-generation, low-income high school students presented and answered questions regarding their summer social impact projects to a panel of industry leaders and educators for scholarship awards.
The inaugural program launched in June 2021 matched 97 high school and college students with Forbes 30 Under 30 Listers to form mentorship circles that are worked to close the network gap this summer.
