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 .
