Join Operation Jump Start at our inaugural Operation: College Extravaganza (O:CE) a day-long event full of educational workshops, resources, food, and FUN!

This event will be open to all Long Beach students and families. We will have student and parent workshops to prepare for college acceptance and eventual attendance. O:CE will provide a safe space for first-generation college students to explore college opportunities, career exploration, financial literacy, mental wellness, and a network of opportunities to help break generational inequalities. Designed to provide resources in a fun and engaging way, O:CE will include food and drinks, interactive workshops, entertainment, and a resource fair, all at little to no cost to the attendees.

O:CE will be representative of Operation Jump Start’s continuous commitment to providing scholars with the educational and mental support needed for them to get in, stay in, and graduate.
