Britebound

Last month, the Britebound team headed to sunny San Diego for the 2026 @asugsvsummit ! ☀️ From our Opening Reception to three packed days of panels, workshops, and demos, we connected with thousands of attendees who share our mission of ensuring that all young people have the information and resources they need to make smart, confident decisions about their futures. Here’s a look at just some of programming Britebound brought this year: ✅ 10 sessions on career exploration, experimentation, and navigation ✅ Thousands of free sunglasses to celebrate our rebrand from ASA to Britebound 😎 ✅ Live demos of GoZig, our free app turning career curiosity into confident next steps ✅ Impact Investing Office Hours and a Grantmaking Info session We also couldn’t be more proud to share that our longtime President & CEO and current Executive Chair, Jean Eddy, as a recipient of the ASU+GSV Lifetime Achievement Award! 🎉 🎥 Watch the full recap above! #CareerReadiness #EdTech #FutureOfWork #CareerConnectedLearning #asugsvsummit

How do today’s teens define the American Dream, and do they believe it’s still achievable? Our new Substack post highlights key themes expressed by 500+ teens—and what state and cross-sector leaders can do to keep the American Dream alive for the next generation. #reignitingtheamericandream #americandream @governors_nga @britebound

✨ How do we shape — not limit — the path for those who follow? This month’s Dreamkeeper Spotlight features Julie Lammers, President & CEO of Britebound — a bold leader inspiring the next generation to pursue their dreams fearlessly. She reminds us: the right support can unlock limitless potential. 🔓 💭 Is it time to revisit your dreams?

We're still reeling from our amazing time at #SXSWEDU last month! From our opening reception, to our panel with @iam_freetodream , to watching you all try on different sunglasses at our activation booth, we loved the energy you brought to the conference. 😎 Our greatest thanks to everyone who attended one or more of our events and helped make this year's conference a memorable one. Watch our video for more highlights from our sunglasses store. 🎥

We had an incredible time at #SXSWEDU last week. 😎 Britebound showed up in Austin with an activation space designed to reintroduce our rebrand and the “brite” futures we’re helping young people build. Our display featured 12 styles of free sunglasses — a playful reminder of the “brite” futures we’re building and that learners need the chance to “try on” different paths before finding the ones meant for them. The response was amazing: 1,600+ pairs of shades were gone by the middle of Day 3, sparking hundreds of conversations with educators, practitioners, and partners from across the country. @sxswedu also featured a hands-on session with our own Mike Murphy alongside Byron K. Sanders and Kara May, exploring the @iam_freetodream Dreamkeeper™ Resource Kit, focused on practices that help adults create space for transformative youth dreaming — and connect those dreams to real pathways. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, joined the conversation, and helped make the week so memorable. More photos and highlights coming soon. 👀

We’re still reeling from the incredible, unbelievable time we had during our second Work-Based Learning Forum in Phoenix, Arizona! We’re looking forward to transforming our discussions into real, positive change for young people hoping to find their why and find their way through #workbasedlearning opportunities – and we’re excited to continue this crucial work with all of our attendees. We would like to extend a warm thank you to @evitnews (EVIT) and @childmusephx for allowing us to use their space for this year’s forum. Thank you so much to EVIT, @atlastacatering , and @civitanfoundationaz for keeping us well-fed and caffeinated. We would also like to thank @harmonyprojectphoenix 's Youth Mariachi Ensemble, @adrian_grrcya and his students, and the young Diné hoop dancers for lending your time and artistic talent to our event. Britebound would also like to share our appreciation for our high school photography assistants, Estrella Diego and Simon Mayfield, who helped our photographer and videographer throughout the forum. And last, but most certainly not least, we would like to thank everyone who joined us in Phoenix and contributed invaluable insights and perspectives on youth work-based learning. This event was a success because of caring adults like you!

👏🎺✨ We’re grateful to @britebound for organizing such a meaningful event and for inviting our Mariachi to be part of it. Congratulations to the entire Brite Bound team for creating a space that uplifts community, celebrates young people, and brings partners together with purpose. Our students were honored to share their music and represent the power of youth artistry in Phoenix. As we continue to expand opportunities for our young musicians, we’re excited to collaborate with organizations and events that believe in access, excellence, and community impact. 🎶 Visit our website to book your event with us: /book-your-event/ Thank you, Brite Bound—looking forward to what’s ahead! 🤝🎻
