6:00 PM reception – 7:00 PM program
Baby Grand Opera House
Speaker: Dr. Terrance Newton, Breaking the Cycle
The selection of WSFS and JP Morgan Chase was based on their model of excellent corporate community service and the dedication of their employees in mentoring the youth of Stubbs Middle School, Christina School District and Forest Oakes Elementary School, Red Clay School District.
Both companies have also secured additional funding to support mentoring throughout the State of Delaware. Company representatives have worked closely with the administrators at both schools to ensure that their programs follow the basic mentoring standards for safe and effective mentoring as identified by the DMC. They have further supported mentoring through their active participation in the Greater Wilmington Mentoring Commission, a partnership with Mayor James M. Baker, City of Wilmington and the Delaware Mentoring Council.
According to Claudio Cerullo, Ph.D., "Delaware students have a better chance to realize their full potential due to the extraordinary support and commitment to mentoring by these two outstanding businesses. The example set by their management and outreach team reflects the type of top-down approach and volunteer commitment that is critical for a successful mentoring program.”
