A note from Mark on Giving Tuesday
As we head into 2026, there are many important and valuable causes, initiatives, and organizations within our region that are in need—among them youth employment and internship programs. EDC’s Advancing San Diego program has funded paid work-based learning experiences for more than 800 students to date and is in need of support for its next cohort—whether contributing financially or hosting an intern.
