Colgate Cares Day/Mentoring Madness is especially critical during the COVID-19 pandemic when students have been isolated and unable to meet with college and career professionals. Volunteers will be presenting to students in panel discussions, using a secured virtual platform, such as Google Hangout or Zoom.
CFES Brilliant Pathways will connect employee volunteers at Colgate-Palmolive with over 1,000 students in grades K-12 across New York State. The virtual event will give students in rural and urban areas an opportunity to interact with and learn from professionals about their college and career pathways, Essential Skills for success, and Colgate careers.
