GENESYS WORKS FEATURED ON NATIONAL MEDIA

Genesys works featured on National Media
(October 7, 2009) Houston , Texas . In the worst economic climate for teen employment since 1948, CNBC chose Genesys Works as a bright example of jobs that are available for students with the right training. The report aired live on-site at United Space Alliance (USA) and featured the Genesys Works students working on laptops destined for the space station. The report also cited Genesys Works nation-wide expansion plans and its move into Chicago.
Tune into the video at http://www.genesysworks.org/news/news_046.php
About Genesys Works:
Genesys Works is a Houston-based non-profit organization founded in 2002 by Rafael Alvarez. Genesys Works bridges the gap between education preparation and the jobs of the future. The organization provides training and meaningful jobs for historically disengaged populations - minorities from economically-disadvantaged high schools. Genesys Works links these students to good opportunities and professions of the future through technical training, professional skills training and through actual paid work in a corporate environment. Immersion into the corporate world changes the trajectory of life for these students showing possibility that they can succeed as professionals.
With more than 55 of the largest corporations participating in the Twin Cities and Chicago , Genesys reaches more than 300 students per year with more than 95% of the graduates enrolling into college immediately after high school. Many receive major scholarships with the assistance of the Genesys Works College Connection program.
Genesys Works opened Minnesota in 2008 and will begin operations in Chicago in 2010 with many more cities to follow.

Texas Governor's School in Arts and Humanities for Urban Leadership at Texas A&M University
WHEN
June 7 - 26, 2009
WHERE
The Governor's School is a residential summer program for 100 high-achieving public high school students on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
WHAT
Students will be living together and forming a leadership community in a residence hall on the Texas A&M campus (female and male students on different floors) under the direction and supervision of 14 specially selected counselors and activity directors. Students, counselors, and staff will eat all meals together in a university dining hall. During the three-week Governor's School, students will take four college-level courses in arts, humanities, ethics, urban issues, and leadership. Together the students and faculty will visit museums, participate in arts events, create media and technology projects in small groups, learn about college admissions and university programs, participate in recreational activities, work with prominent professors and researchers on the Texas A&M faculty; and build a community of future leaders for urban environments who have a sensitivity and commitment to the arts and humanities.
