How can somebody expect kids who have not been given the opportunity to engage in economic activity to be successful in seeking employment or making money?
Compadre Clothing has decided to address these questions.
In a proposal to the Operation Phoenix Foundation, Compadre Clothing devised a program that would allow San Bernardino Community Children to engage in a real economic activity at a real college campus.
Compadre Clothing has proposed the idea that when kids are exposed to institutions of higher learning at a young age, they are more likely to attend college.
Compadre Clothing has also proposed that kids who handle money and engage in economic activity at a young age, have a greater likelihood of being financially successful.
The proposed Program is as follows:
Operation Phoenix Foundation Community Children will be bused from the San Bernardino area to local universities in Southern California where they will sell Compadre Clothing/Operation Phoenix Foundation branded t-shirts to real life college students on campus.
A portion of the sales will be given to the Operation Phoenix Foundation with a percentage ending up in the pockets of the children.
San Bernardino kids will be able to visit college campuses, meet with college students and sell t-shirts in an amiable environment. The kids will not only be supporting their community, they will be receiving compensation for doing so.
Exposure to Higher Education at a young age+engaging in economic activities at a young age+youth supporting the community=PERSONAL AND COMMUNAL BENEFITS AND SUCCESS
Compadre Clothing hopes that this program will be adopted by Community Charities and Youth Programs across the United States.
