Memorial Healthcare System recently hosted its Fifth Annual Memorial Healthcare Career Day Expo at Children’s Harbor in Pembroke Pines. This empowering event aimed to inspire teens and youth in foster care to explore various career paths and start creating personalized plans for their futures. With the involvement of local industry professionals across Broward County, Children’s Harbor teens asked questions, gained invaluable insights and hands-on experiences, encouraging them to pursue their interests and reach their highest potential.

Teens had the opportunity to engage in mock interviews, build a resume, plan a professional outfit, and get an up-to-date headshot taken to help them prepare for the workforce. The success of the Memorial Healthcare Career Day Expo aligns closely with the values and mission of Children’s Harbor. Children’s Harbor is a nationally accredited nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening families in our community by providing safe shelter and support to teens in foster care, helping them to grow into healthy, educated, and productive adults.

Children’s Harbor focuses on supporting children who have experienced the trauma of child abuse at its main campus in Pembroke Pines. Supported by year-round recruitment efforts, this career fair helped Children’s Harbor’s kids discover their passions and purpose.
