On Friday, 4/19 during L2, come to the auditorium and find out more about an amazing program offered at UC Berkeley this summer!
The Accounting Careers and Awareness Program (ACAP) is a great opportunity to learn about money and business, as well as experience a bit of college life with high school students from around the Bay. A number of Unity students, including Kevin Hunter, Patricia Gonzalez, and Carolina Burciaga have all participated, returning with rave reviews. The program includes workshops, visits to to different sites around the Bay, and social events such as a dance with other teens. All expenses are paid! Graduates of this program have also earned scholarships to help pay for college. Please talk to Ms. Chung or Mr. Zarazua for more information.
ACAP’s goals are to:
- Increase the understanding of accounting and business career opportunities among high school students from under-represented ethnic groups and increase college enrollment of these under-represented ethnic groups
To achieve these goals, ACAP provides the following:
- An extensive one week summer residency program at the University of California, Berkeley
- Exciting seminars about accounting, business, self-development, and college preparation
- Site tours to CPA firms and companies in the private sector
- A graduation banquet attended by the students and their parents and mentorship and tracking of ACAP alum to measure our effectiveness
Information and applications can be found on www.acapsfbayarea.org. Applications are due May 3rd. Students who will have completed 9th, 10th, or 11th grade this school year are encouraged to apply!
