Created and directed by Ms. Shifra Hanon, this innovative program, a fitting complement to college guidance, is an exciting way for students to strengthen their college portfolios, build resumes and network with industry professionals. With guest speakers, trips, internship opportunities, career fairs and a wide range of contacts and connections from our alumni family and beyond, Pathfinders offers each student the opportunity to discover and pursue his or her own unique path.

The Pathfinders team also provides students with professional skill building opportunities through coaching in resume writing, email etiquette, and interviewing methods. Students meet individually with team members to tap into their true passion.
