Career Village

CareerVillage’s mission is to democratize access to career information and advice for underrepresented youth, empowering youth to set goals and take action towards their future career
YoonJi Kim Director of Operations, CareerVillage

“The FCF team is phenomenal and extremely supportive. Thanks to FCF, we’ve been connected to some amaz- ing tech leaders who have shared insights into digital advertising, and improved our communications to new users and Ambassadors. We were surprised by how passionate and dedicated our FCF project team was. A couple have joined our action committee to continue their engagement with CareerVillage, and one has joined our Board of Directors. There were no tasks too small or too big for them. They were always willing to make time and to help in any way they could. They had diverse, deep backgrounds in marketing, advertising, product, business development, business development, and communications. We look forward to continuing these relationships and making CareerVillage even bigger and better!”

Challenge:

CareerVillage has grown tremendously, especially in the past two years in both its corporate partner program and volunteer corps of professionals, and they needed support in growing their volunteer base from 40,000 to 90,000

Solutions:

With the support from FCF on digital ads, strategic partnerships, and an optimized user interface and user experience (UI/UX), CareerVillage over-doubled their new professional signups in 2020.

Impact on CareerVillage missions:

Launched several new initiatives including a translation feature, Ambassador program, and their first district partnership with San Francisco United School District. In 2021, they reached an important milestone of serving five million users.
