Genesys works Chicago is a fantastic organization dedicated to students to achieve a successful career. GWC works with high school students to encourage them to break through barriers. GWC also prepares students for college and to enter the workforce, land meaningful roles and lead successful careers.
I am committed to giving back to the student community through GWC. I'm proud to be apart of this great organization for the last several years and look forward to reaching more students as GWC grows.

Nonprofit Overview
Mission: To enable economically-disadvantaged high school students to enter and thrive in the economic mainstream by providing them the knowledge and work experience required to succeed as professionals. Throughout the program, students realize firsthand that they can thrive in a corporate environment and that pursuing a professional career can help them achieve a much higher standard of living than they are accustomed to. With this knowledge and continuous guidance from the Genesys Works staff, they significantly redefine their long-term goals and set plans to pursue them. In fact, over 95 percent of Genesys Works graduates enroll in college immediately after high school, and most are the first in their family to do so.
