Founder & Advisor
Sabrina Raphael, MBA, is a Winter 2023 graduate of the 7-week idealist.org Incubator program, which has led to the launching of the Never Too Late Project with many advisors throughout California, Washington, and New York. In the same year, she was certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP) practitioner. She worked full-time between 2013 and 2021 while completing a bachelor's degree at the University of San Francisco, UC Berkeley’s HR Certification, and Sonoma State’s EMBA graduate program. While attending school she learned counseling, curriculum planning, and workshop development to help other students & classmates get their first jobs, move into mid-management, understand time management, and plan which classes were needed to graduate or transfer to 4-year university.
Navigating Junior College by yourself and finding the career you want can feel overwhelming but Sabrina's workshops provide the steps needed to feel empowered to complete your higher education and go after the career you always wanted. Sabrina currently volunteers with Dress for Success San Jose as a Career Advisor and serves on the Junior League of San Francisco Advocacy Committee, External Engagement, and California State Public Affairs Education Legislation Committee representing San Francisco while managing programming for the Professional Women’s Interest Group with Junior League of San Francisco.
Our mission is to foster learning and job mobility for personal economic development to neglected students and workers such as non-traditional students aged over 24, neurodiverse, and/or socioeconomically challenged communities.
“After taking a deep dive for 3 months into the problem published by the Public Policy Institute of California that ‘more than 3 out of every 4 students entering the community college system declare transfer as their goal, but only 4% of those students do so in two years. Only 19% of students transfer in four years, and 28% do so within six.’ As someone who went from Berkeley City College to USFCA, I know it doesn’t have to be this way.”
