4) Connect in Place
Connect in Place
My name is Victoria Brendel, and I am a sophomore at UC Berkeley. Last summer, I worked with a team of my peers to create Connect-In-Place (connectinplace.org), a free virtual program for middle and high schoolers, with college students teaching classes ranging from coding to Bollywood dance to stress management!
We are currently recruiting college student instructors for our two summer 2021 sessions (June 14 – July 9 and July 12 – August 6). We are looking for those who may be interested in working with us as instructors — more instructors means more free classes for students around the world! So far, we’ve served 2,500+ youth in classes led by 200+ instructors, and we’re looking to scale our impact further.
Applications are currently open.

5) Pathways to Law Conf.
Pathways to Law Conf.
Starting Saturday, May 8, 2021, the Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area’s Community Services Committee will be hosting its 12th annual Pathways to Law Conference. This event encourages high school and college students – especially those from diverse backgrounds – to pursue a legal career. We will discuss career options available with a law degree from the perspective of persons from Asian and Pacific Islander backgrounds. The conference features distinguished panelists who have used their law degrees in a variety of ways, including firm attorneys, public interest attorneys, government attorneys, judges, and in-house counsel. We also will be holding a new law school panel featuring representatives from the Office of Enrollment Management and the Career Development Office at UC Hastings College of the Law, as well as two law students.
This year, Pathways to Law will be live and online as a weekly series of three panels. The schedule is as follows:
Private Law Panel – Saturday, May 8, 2021 at 11 a.m.
Public Law/Public Interest Panel – Saturday, May 15, 2021 at 11 a.m.
Law School Panel – Saturday, May 22, 2021 at 11 a.m.
Location: Online
Cost: Free
Registration is required to attend the conference. As long as you are registered for at least one session, you will get access to all three panels. The link to the event will be provided to you via email. To learn more about our event and panelists, and to register for this event, please visit here.
