Career Fair 2024
On Saturday March 23, 2024, I volunteered at Kid City's career fair for the first time. As a senior at CSUDH with a major in Psychology and minor in Business Management, I'm still unsure about which career path I want to pursue. Speaking with a few professionals during my visit gave me insight into their respective fields of expertise. Speaking with a professional can be beneficial to learn more details about a certain field and hear about the advantages and disadvantages of a position or field. This helps students like me have a better understanding of what a profession requires and helps us determine if it's something that we see ourselves doing.

DSIG Program
My name is Astrid Herrera. I am an undocumented and a DACA student at CSU Dominguez Hills. I am a senior pursuing a bachelor’s in Psychology and a minor in Business Management. I am a current volunteer at Kid City Hope Place enrolled through the DSIG program. I learned about this program from the Immigration Center at my campus and they were able to guide me through the steps on how to apply. This is my second semester volunteering at Kid City and so far, I’ve had a great experience as I’ve had the chance to meet new people and learn new skills. I’ve helped with research on certain topics, projects, and live events. I highly recommend to those who qualify to take advantage of this great opportunity, for further questions please contact your campus’ immigration center, also known as the dreamer center, for more guidance.

Although college is often credited as one of the most influential factors in a young person’s life, internships don’t receive nearly as much credit as they should for the value they carry. Internships allow students to discover their passions, gain field experience, and create networking connections for future job opportunities.
