FACES San Diego Expands to New High School

Screen Shot 2016-04-08 at 12.46.50 AMIn Fall 2015, FACES San Diego grew its program by starting a new FACES program at Crawford High School. Crawford High School’s 44 new FACES students meet weekly and learn about a wide variety of careers in healthcare. Healthcare professionals and career panels present to students at least once a month.

“These students are hungry for knowledge,” says Warren McBride, the FACES Crawford Coordinator. “They are eager to learn about careers they never heard of before, and how to get to them. The challenge is, they don’t know what they don’t know, and bringing them to the point of understanding that there are things for them to learn, and steps to take to learn them…that is the challenge!”

Students also have had the opportunity to participate in MBSR, a series of eight weekly Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction training sessions designed to provide tools and strategies to assist in recognizing and reducing stress. Student field trips have included both L.A. and local college tours, a visit to Illumina, Inc., and kick-off and spring break team-building trips. Job shadowing rotations in the community have begun as well, with juniors assigned to one of six organizations for each rotation period.
