Portland, Ore. – Aug. 15, 2025 – UPLIFT Leadership is pleased to partner with Multnomah Education Service District (MESD) and Oregon TRIO Association to bring students to The Career Summit—a career readiness conference and camp for youth and young professionals—at University of Oregon in Eugene on July 24 to 27, 2025.

Students are young Oregonians, including high school and college-age young people between 16 and 26 years old.

UPLIFT Leadership’s Career Summit program centers on employability skills, helping students explore potential industries and career fields, find jobs and get hired, build skills for the workforce, and advance professionally.

Desired outcomes include greater career clarity, confidence, college exposure, communication skills, connections and a sense of community.

This is the second year of collaboration between UPLIFT Leadership and MESD at The Career Summit, with MESD bringing 13 students—doubling participation in 2025 compared to 2024.
