Week 4 of 4 (late post again shhh we have some things in work 🤫)

What a rollercoaster of a summer it has been and with the unfortunate cancelation of the showcase event but still ending off on a strong note with guest speakers from Catering by Michaels ,having movie days, some games, little production, and of course keeping our tradition going with celebrating session birthdays with getting some Nothing Bundt Cakes 😋

Great summer overall and we can't wait for the next sessions 🙌🏽

Also keep an eye out for some of our teens' elevator pitches about their business concepts they created throughout the program! We did this to make up for our showcase being canceled so make sure y'all show some support when we post them!

What a day! 😏

Our teens had an incredible opportunity to visit Vertiport Chicago FBO where they got an up-close look at an impressive lineup of luxury vehicles courtesy of DS LUXURY They also heard from the amazing Vertiport team and local entrepreneurs who shared their career journeys, experiences, and advice.

Opportunities like these give our youth a chance to explore new career paths, ask meaningful questions, and gain inspiration for their own futures. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to make this visit such a memorable experience! 🙌🏽💕
