Hi Friends,

The summer season is upon us, and we’re gearing up for the thirteenth summer of our Job/Life Skills and Business Development/Entrepreneur Program!

This summer, our goal is to serve a record 45 students!! Our students will advance our Styln’ With Grace social enterprise, learn and practice job soft skills, interviewing techniques, and resume writing. We are adding an additional entrepreneur class which has opened the opportunity for more students.

WE WANT TO PROVIDE A SCHOLARSHIP FOR ALL 45 STUDENTS SO THAT NO ONE IS TURNED AWAY.  WILL YOU HELP US REACH OUR GOAL TO SPONSOR 45 STUDENTS THIS SUMMER? 

The cost to sponsor a student with a full scholarship is $785 or $392 for half.  

Every gift helps.

Students earn up to $500 in cash incentives for the summer!!!!

The money earned by each student comes from your scholarship donation and goes directly into the pockets of the students!!  

Many of the students use this money to buy school clothes, extra food for the household, gifts for siblings, and save for something special.  

We hear time and time again from employers that our students are among the most dedicated and hardworking because they have been well-prepared, thanks to you.

Most of our students who obtain and work their jobs for 4 months or more, advance to leadership positions at their job and/or advance to better opportunities. 

Some students, like Makayla, need extra support and return for additional training to keep growing. Last summer, she called and asked, “Can I come back during the summer? I still have a lot to learn and need help.” Because of generous donors, we were able to say yes. Makayla not only gained the confidence to succeed in a new job, she also took a bold step toward her future and enrolled in nursing school after graduation.

Please contact Elizabeth (Coldren) Phelps at eliza@graceplaceschool.org or call 954-600-3424 with questions. We can’t do this without your support. 

PS. As a student sponsor, you can support that student throughout the summer through prayer, emails, texts, and/or letters if you desire.
