“I’ve visited other career days at hospitals, and they’re usually just walk throughs. But what’s so different about Youth Career Day at the Garfield Innovation Center is that the kids get to actually dive into health care practices and experience it for themselves. You can’t get that anywhere else.”
– A teacher at Castro Valley High School
