AIM High is So Important
Companies That Care’s Board Chair Talks about AIM High
As Board Chair for Center for Companies that Care (CTC), I would like to thank you in advance for considering a donation to CTC’s AIM High Program. We are excited about the success of the Program to date, and even more excited about the opportunities in the future to positively impact even more students in Chicago’s low income, inner-city neighborhoods. The AIM High Program is designed to promote positive relationships for these students through adult mentorships and support, backed by various events designed to promote goal setting, leadership, personal and workforce development, and cultural exposure.
As a product of a low income, inner-city neighborhood, I am acutely aware of the need for mentorships and support for these students to ensure high school completion and college graduation. The fact of the matter is that these students WILL find “mentors”. The question is what path will these “mentors” provide for the students? Further, if it is a positive path, will they have the necessary resources to aid these students in navigating the road to college graduation, with the many other challenges they may face because of their surroundings.
I am pleased to be able to support such a worthy cause through monetary donations and time. To hear the success stories of the current AIM High Program participants, as well as the alumnus of the Program (college graduates), confirms the need for this Program. Please join in making a donation that will aid in changing the trajectory and improving the lives of underserved youth.
