Classrooms to Careers
In 2012, the DC Police Foundation implemented a summer internship program for DC high-school students, the Stars Plus One program, which was later renamed, Classrooms to Careers. The goal of the program is to match each student, based on their field of interest, with an employer in a high-end office environment to gain career and life skills and to have a meaningful internship and employer mentor.

"The Classrooms to Careers summer program has introduced me to some internships which helped me toward my new career path which is the MPD Cadet Program.
