WALL OF FAME

Choos’ Kidz doesn’t end when our  scholars leave the program. We build  bonds that will last a lifetime. We  partner with colleges, corporations and  small businesses to make sure our  scholars are ready for the “League of  Life.” We collect data up to 5 years  after our scholars enter the  workforce/college to track how our  program has impacted them.

At the completion of the program, CSYE  will provide scholarships for students  headed to college or grants for students  who take the entrepreneurial track .
