Tina lived in south Los Angeles with her mother, who struggled with drug addiction. They were dependent on minimal government assistance. When Tina was in the 9th grade she began working after school and on weekends to help support the family, while maintaining an ‘A’ average in school. The Fulfillment Fund came into Tina’s life while she was in the 7th grade and matched her with a mentor, Shelly McCarthy. In high school, Tina also received in-depth college counseling and group instruction through the College Access Program, and eventually a college scholarship and an internship.

Microsoft Store, paving the way for an ongoing relationship that will include Microsoft trainings and other events for students. He was a driving force in the creation of the Leadership Council, the Fulfillment Fund’s auxiliary support group of young professionals. Under Michael’s leadership, members of CAA’s IT staff — including Leadership Council founding member Chris Wagner — have been invaluable in sourcing technology donations and are now developing a new web site for the Fulfillment Fund that will launch in 2012. In the 2011–12 school year, the CAA information technology department will host open-houses for Fulfillment Fund students to encourage them to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and learn more about careers in information technology. Born and raised in Southern California, Michael says that improving quality and access to education in local public schools is a critical issue for him and his family. “I give back because it was how I was raised,” he says. “My parents made that an important part of growing up in my life.” Giving back to the community, he says, is also part of the corporate culture of CAA, which founded the CAA Foundation led by Michelle Kydd Lee to inspire charitable giving by CAA staff and clients. “CAA says, ‘We’re going to focus on the community where we work and live.’ That focused effort has really moved the needle. It’s really made a difference.” “When I look at some of the most rewarding feelings I’ve had, it’s been around the Fulfillment Fund and other similar organizations where I’ve been able to help out.”
