Marcus Allen, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence, is launching POWER Up, an innovative in-school mentoring program in Philadelphia. Inspired by a successful model in Atlanta, POWER Up aims to support middle school students in high-crime neighborhoods by providing full-time mentors. The program, starting in three schools this fall, focuses on building confidence, improving academic performance, and addressing challenges like gun violence. Allen's vision is to expand POWER Up to every Philadelphia middle school, potentially transforming the city's educational landscape. https://lnkd.in/e5inmWuY #BiggerTogether

We are excited to announce our collaboration with KPMG US on the Empower High School Experience this summer. It’s a three-week internship for high school students, to expose them to career opportunities in public accounting and professional services as they begin their career journey. As part of the experience, interns interact with KPMG mentors, build career insights and immerse themselves in a professional environment. BBBS is proud to collaborate on this meaningful experience that is aligned with our college and career readiness programming! 🎓 #KPMGEmpower #BiggerTogether
