Empower Pathways
Summer 2025
Join Empower SCI, @impossibledreamcatamaran , and Deloitte for a summer Pathways experience unlike any other on Boston Harbor!
We will begin at the Deloitte offices in the Boston Seaport for a career building workshop focused on personal brand, storytelling, and how to navigate your career with a disability. This will be followed by dinner at Deloitte. After dinner, we will roll down to the harbor to board the Impossible Dream, a fully wheelchair accessible sailing catamaran for a sunset cruise around Boston Harbor. It will be an informative, motivating, and adventurous evening!
We can't wait to see you there! Use the link below to register!
