Chester county futures volunteer work

Mission Statement- “Chester County Futures provides comprehensive academic support, mentoring and scholarships for motivated economically disadvantaged youth to succeed in school, higher education and life.”

Vision- “Every child in Chester County will be prepared for and have access to the education and supports needed to become a self-reliant, productive member of society.”

The 11th annual Chester County Futures College and Career expo was held at West Chester University on August 2nd.  The event was amazing!  About 200 students had the chance to engage with an abundance of post-secondary educational institutions such as Drexel, Temple, Lehigh, and Penn State University. In addition, many corporations were on hand to offer discussions on career choices and opportunities.  In total there were about 80 representatives from schools and corporations!  Rockwell was fortunate to take part in the event by leading discussions between students and college/corporate representatives, while also chaperoning small groups around campus and the dining hall to offer a sense of college life.  The students at CCF are an amazing group of kids!
