A group of bright, local middle school students were hosted recently for a tour of eBay Inc. headquarters. The students are members of “Breakthrough Silicon Valley,” a rigorous six-year academic enrichment program designed to increase educational opportunities for high-potential but typically under-served middle and high school students. Their Career Explorations Day included a VIP tour, visit from CEO John Donahoe, and meetings with eBay’s PR, Mergers & Acquisitions, Legal, Asset Protection and Internal Communications teams. Breakthrough Silicon Valley is also a recent recipient of an eBay Foundation grant.
