A summit at the Tice Ranch earlier this spring laid the foundation for thirty seniors from Philadelphia’s highly-publicized School of the Future to participate in a recent PX2 pilot program held on their campus. Jointly sponsored by TPI, Global Youth United, and the Pearson Foundation, the session was aimed at providing these students, many of whom are the first in their families to graduate, with the tools they need to increase their possibilities for success as they prepare to head off to college.
The student’s had a great time and left feeling empowered to face their futures; and as an added motivation, GYU founder Leonard Finklestein promised to throw a huge party for all of them in 2014 to celebrate their college graduations (and his 85th birthday!) While we’ll have to wait a while to see how that goes, we’re definitely looking forward to many more success stories from this new partnership in the years to come.
