2019 Rising Star Honoree

Victoria Chen, Co-Founder & Executive Director, BRIDGEYEAR:   As a Teach for America Corp Member teaching biology at Sharpstown High School, Chen realized that students who do not wish to attend a four-year college need a different type of counseling experience to identify their path after high school.  Traditional methods of career exploration often fail to engage students and many post-high school pathways are omitted from the conversation. This inspired Chen and her co-founder to create BridgeYear in 2016 as the missing link by connecting Houston students to viable and accessible career opportunities.
