Corporate Kid is inspired by the novel The Corporate Kid by Dr. Neil Shulman
Urgent! We need your help to save lives. If you have been watching TV over the past month then you know it is time to make a "REAL" change in the way kids of color are perceived. The names of too many young people are being lost
to situations that regard them a less valuable. Names like Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and countless other who never received publicity, have been lost because of the value others put on them. In other cases we lose kids because they don't
see their own value. This combination has been going on for hundreds of years and has to stop. Corporate Kid will begin to make significant in-roads to this problem with simple introductions and well designed programs. Anytime you take two people
who on the outside, are very different and put them together learning occurs and lives change. The kids in our program get:
1. Mentored by an executive at the highest level of business for a year
2. They get a share of stock in the business
3. We get them their passport
4. They have homework from the corporate visit
5. As owners of stock they are invited to the annual shareholder's meeting
6. Get to meet other kids and executives from all over the country
7. A real life changing experience
8. A contact at a high level and a friend for years to come
9. Potential Scholarships
10. The trajectory will be forever changed; their lives will take a different path!
