Congratulations, Graduate! “After graduating I am going to Polk State to study advertising and marketing. I plan to focus on the graphic design part of things but learn tips and tricks to sell. “
Congratulations to this high school graduate who spent many years in the afterschool program, AND was a past participant in the Workforce Lab. He is receiving a savings match for his next steps.
Workforce Lab is an eight-week experiential learning program that focuses young high school students on financial capability, career/education planning, soft job skills, and Jesus in all those things. Students earn stipends and a chance to match those stipends upon on-time graduation. The Libertore Fund For Children funded the program and matches.
