Cash & Career Curriculum
Cash & Career is a 5 week summer program for 12 – 15 year olds in the Kansas City metro and Wichita metro areas. Our concept blends classes with a working internship at a local business; ending with the students getting a paid stipend for their hard work.

Impact Shops
After the first few years of our C & C Program, we realized we were needing to offer something to continue connection and education throughout the year. This year, we are rolling out Impact Shops (3 in the fall and 3 in the spring) to serve our individual groups of students tailoring the workshop style sessions to their needs, interests and areas they need more emphasis on for their individual success. We wanted to be more than a positive summer program, we truly want to Impact the lives of the students in our program and those they interact with in their communities!
