Martin Luther King Jr. believed that education goes beyond academics. It is about building character, critical thinking, and confidence. On MLK Day, we reflect on his vision and the responsibility we share to provide young people with the tools they need to succeed in school, in life, and in their communities. 💙📚

Our Career Works initiative provides teens with holistic workforce readiness support as they explore their passions and prepare to enter the workforce. Last month, the ProspHire team volunteered their time to host a mock interview and resume building workshop, sharing real world insight and guidance with our teens. We are grateful for their continued partnership and commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and move toward their future.
