Fields of Opportunity - Why be a Mentor?
|
Fields of Opportunity was created, in partnership with NVUSD and NVEF, to connect high school students with our largest local industry to explore rewarding career options in their own backyard. Participants will have a range of academic trajectories and come from various programs including alternative programs and independent study. All will benefit from support and direction to build their skills and the chance to envision a brighter future. If you would like to impact a young life by introducing them to the wine industry and sharing your passion for the field, this program is for you.

"V. Sattui has been proud to be a part of this program. We believe in mentorship and raising up the next generation of workers and leaders for our shared community. This program provides a way to do exactly that. Not only has this provided an avenue to give something back to the community, it has also provided a way to hire new employees that still work with us to this day.” |

"Everything about Hudson Ranch is pretty mesmerizing. It is beautiful and the people are very welcoming. I learned to work with elevated clientele and to see how hospitality works in Napa. I found my hospitality voice! I liked the Friday workshops because it was nice to connect with other people in the program at other companies and hear how their week went." |
