As part of the firm’s equity initiatives to promote a more diverse profession, LEVER recently launched TeamUp, our own mentorship program for high school students from underrepresented groups who are interested in pursuing careers in the built environment. The seven-week paid program, developed with assistance from Jacquelyn Santa Lucia of Your Street Your Voice (YSYV), is a way to remove barriers and build understanding on the process of becoming an architect through intimate conversations, group activities, and storytelling.
