Candlelight Reception for Career Launch

Boys and Girls Club of Trenton and Mercer County

Beyond the classroom, Career Launch may be the single most powerful process for helping teens:

Set career goals and manage them through their secondary school years.

Identify and develop career pathways

Develop job-readiness skills

Graduate from high school and enter college, trade school, or employment.

Career Launch participants learn the correlation between education and earning potential. The program uses tutoring, paid internships, and other techniques to build kids’ enthusiasm for career possibilities and set achievable goals for themselves.

Your support for Career Launch already has resulted in a 30-fold increase in Club youths entering college, as well as a leap in the retention of younger Club kids as they become eligible to participate in Career Launch.

This year, 60 Career Launch Kids were graduated from high school and went on to study at these institutions:

Art Institute of Philadelphia	Morgan State University
Bloomfield College	Neumann University
College of New Jersey	North Carolina A&T University
Columbia University	Otis College of Art & Design
