We are thrilled to continue to provide youth with opportunities where they can become empowered and see opportunities that fit them in their community!
Our goal is a dual purpose: to educate participants on the variety of professions and roles that make up our community, and learn about how businesses contribute to a healthy community. We hope to inspire the youth as they look toward their future and give them hope in finding a place where they can thrive.
Space is limited to 8 participants for each program. We will provide lunch and snacks. Transportation to and from the program is available in a limited capacity in the Texoma area.
The program for incoming 8th and 9th graders will be June 11th, 12th and 13th from 9am to 3pm. We will be visiting Denison Fire Department, Denison Police Department, KTEN news media and more. We will also have guest speakers come visit us at the Center to speak including a massage therapist, a realtor, an interior decorator and more.
The program for incoming 10th, 11th and 12th graders will be July 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th and 18th from 10am to 3pm. We will post details as they are scheduled.
Some of the people or places we were able to visit last year and hear from were TMC, Grand Central Station, Denison Fire Dept, Grayson County Sheriff Department, City of Sherman - various departments, Habitat for Humanity, Grayson College, Edward Jones, Lifehouse Chiropractic, McCullough and Pierson Insurance Co, Texas Instruments, Edward Jones and more!
We are grateful for the community partners who were involved with speaking, as well as generous donation to support the program last year, and look forward to who participates this year. Let's have a great summer and explore!
