To Our Family & Friends:

Our first goal as couple is to give back to the community that has given so much to us. We both believe strongly in the power helping each other, and believe together we can make the world we live in a better one. We would love it if you joined us in our first #couplegoal. For every donation made, we will also donate in your honor to the School to Career Progressions Organization. It means the world to have you donate to this wonderful cause with us. We truly appreciate it and can't wait to celebrate this journey with you all!

Together we can make dreamers, achievers! 

The "School to Career Progressions" Organization is a non-profit organization that improves the achievements of Grand Rapids at-risk students in middle and high school. Through the help of community volunteers, organizations, and local professionals, Progressions guides students through their adolescent development to improve their grades and future goals.

Mission

Our mission is to prepare students to be successful in school, the workforce, and in the community.

Goal

To spark the passion in students to identify their latent potential and obtain skills for the vocation of their choice.

History

Progressions began in 2000 as a derivative of Cascade Engineering's Welfare-To-Career Program which has achieved an 80% retention rate in hiring welfare recipients. Using this model, Progressions has operated Success Centers on the campuses of Northeast Middle, Central High, and Union High schools to conduct life-skills and career courses in an office environment. Progressions' facilitators have mentored students in developing cognitive and educational skills while engaging businesses leaders, community organizations, and post-secondary institutions in educating youth. Progressions have helped students to identify their talents and aptitudes, select a career pathway, and develop a 3-year career plan. Curriculum for senior students has focused on transitioning to post-secondary education or full-time employment after graduation. Over a 5-year period, 94% of senior students enrolled in post-secondary education or obtained full-time employment.
