YOUTH ENGAGEMENT 2023-24 CROSSPURPOSE UPDATE

Thank you for your continued support and championship of our Youth Engagement programming at CrossPurpose. In this report, we have shared an overview of the Youth Engagement outcomes with our most up-to-date stats. We learned so much and witnessed many extraordinary moments in our first year engaging with our younger audience and the esteemed schools and community partners serving our neighbors.

Now that the school year has come to a close, we get to look back at some of these shining moments with you. We had a record-breaking year and could not have done it without your conviction and faith in our purpose!

With gratitude, Sarah Bremmer

SENIOR SIGNING DAY & OPEN HOUSE

SUCCESS STORIES ALFONSO In 2023, Alfonso graduated from DSST Cedar High School, formerly Byers High School. Through our strategic partnership he was connected to CrossPurpose. He is now a Lift Technician at Upward Mobility making $20/hour!

“CrossPurpose demanded sweat, determination, and an embrace of the unknown. It was about adopting a mindset that declared “I can handle this”, motivated by a desire to support my mom without replicating my dad's path. I aim to break the cycle ensuring the next generation thrives with knowledge and resilience. Now, working as a lift technician at Lifeway Mobility, I am the testament of transformation undergone at CrossPurpose.”

DAMIAN While in high school, Damien also worked multiple jobs to help his family. After recovering his graduation credits, Damien graduated from Empower Community School in 2023. He had a passion for the trades and saw an opportunity to provide for his family through the career development that CrossPurpose provided. He is now a Field Construction Technician for Pure Cycle Construction making $21/hour!
