Empowering Youth to Believe in Their Full Potential

We've encouraged and empowered thousands of children to aim high. Here's how:

Education: Middle school students from the most scholastically challenged institutions in our region are brought to our workplace. We expose them to careers in medicine, law, journalism, politics and clergy to name a few, but most importantly we give them a plan of how to become these professions.

Mentorship: Our students have an opportunity to be paired with a professional in the field which they have the greatest affinity. Additionally, rising 9th grade students are eligible for summer internships to further hone the skills of their chosen career. These internships may continue throughout high school. Both allow for a year long continuation of the mentor mentee relationship.

Facilitation: Homelessness of our students, diminished parental/guardian participation and scarce personnel and resources of our sister institutions are the most common barriers to programmatic success among our students. We provide administrative assistance to our institutions so that participation is not burdensome.

Note: The above descriptive information came from the organization's About page. This organization has its headquarters in Jenkintown.
