Professional Development, Mentorship Opportunities, and Business-Focused Internships for college students

At Driving Forward, we believe that every college student should have an equal opportunity to achieve their career objectives and create a better future for themselves and their communities.

We strive to achieve this vision by empowering first-generation and under-resourced college students to successfully transition from college to a meaningful career through a supportive professional development, mentorship, and experiential learning community.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit with an award-winning flagship internship program that provides professional development, mentorship opportunities, and a business-focused curriculum. The program is offered through partnerships with a range of organizations and hundreds of dedicated, professional and executive volunteers.

Our focus is bringing together diverse, high-achieving students, helping them to overcome financial or other challenges to achieve their career dreams.

Graduates of the Driving Forward flagship program will have access to exclusive recruitment opportunities offered by our generous corporate sponsors and partners.
