The Warriors and Rakuten have celebrated their annual mentorship event known as the “Future Leaders Experience.”

This March marks 6 years of the program, and it’s all to empower the next generation of women entering the workforce.

“This is our opportunity to bring young women from Girls Inc. together with mentors both from the Rakuten and the Warriors organizations,” expressed Yoyo Murphy, the Senior VP of Government and Community Relations for the Warriors/Chase Center.

The girls were awe-struck to be welcomed the 6th consecutive Future Leaders event by Golden State Warriors Point Guard, Chris Paul, who encouraged them to fully embrace all aspects of Future Leaders over the next two days.

Girls Inc. of Alameda County and partners launched the state’s first registered apprenticeship program in expanded learning, a partnership that also guarantees apprentices fair wages with opportunities for raises, free community college tuition, on-the-job training, and real-time, practical support every step of the way. This program is growing a professional workforce for expanded learning and a stepping stone to other careers in education.
