That’s the exciting promise of the Future Leaders Program, a caring partnership of local business leaders, education professionals and The Matworks.
Through this innovative initiative, deserving youngsters are enrolled in Cristo Rey, whose network of 33 private high schools serve many of the nation’s most needy communities. Students participate in a customized work-study program, which not only offers a superior college-prep education, but also provides invaluable exposure to real world, business and corporate environments and the career op-portunities they represent for the future. That, of course, is where you come in.
The formula’s simple:
• Five students will be selected to work in your place of business.
• Each student will be assigned one specific work day each week on a rotating basis.
• The other four days he or she will carry a full academic workload at Cristo Rey.
Together, we can help kids break the cycle of poverty that, left unchecked, is all too often an impass-able barrier to personal growth, learning, social and economic success.
Please join us in this effort, we’ll be happy to discuss the next steps with you.
