Metro girls donate to Kenya youth, learn business, & travel abroad
Giving to Kenya Youth
With some mentorship from our staff, Strathmore University in Kenya modeled the Macheo Achievement Program after MEF. Metro Achievement Center tutors and the 9th and 10th grade girls were thrilled to be part of an international initiative that shipped books and supplies to Kenya. A letter from them expressed, "On behalf of Strathmore Community Outreach Programme, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your contribution."
Learning Business
'Business' was a new elective for 9th and 10th grade girls this year. The students discovered the various roles in business and marketing and learned how to make a business plan. "This was a great opportunity for the young ladies and the feedback and information that you shared will be helpful for them both now and in the future" -Business Class Instructor. They participated in mock interviews and presented their models to a panel of corporate women leaders from the Metro Advancement Council. "I really enjoyed it, and continue to be so impressed each time I have an opportunity to meet these incredible girls." -MAC Council member, and Mock Interviewer.
