The Grant Cardone Foundation has finalized a 2-year extension of its partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters. The partnership aims to educate at-risk youth in financial literacy, professional development, and practical life skills.
AVENTURA, Fla., April 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Grant Cardone Foundation (GCF) and Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) finalized a 2-year extension of their partnership to bring mentoring, direction, and guidance to underprivileged youth in South Florida.
Together, GCF and BBBS match caring mentors (called "Bigs") with aspiring youths (called "Littles") to help them set academic and personal goals and develop practical life skills to realize their full potential.
Ronnie, a senior at Hallandale Magnet High described his experience with BBBS and the Grant Cardone Foundation: "The Big Brothers Big Sisters and Grant Cardone Foundation experience has helped me so much from learning interview tips to knowing how to use Photoshop. It's helped me choose the best career path for me and has ultimately provided me with all the necessary resources to be successful. I am really glad that I was given the opportunity to be a part of this program."
Ronnie is one of over 1000 youth in South Florida supported by the Grant Cardone Foundation.
Sarah Rice, a high school student, and aspiring entrepreneur shared her experience: "Being able to be here in front of these super influential people, people I follow and look up to, and be able to present my ideas and have them receive that and connect to my vision, it was amazing."
Another student remarked: "It was a great experience, probably one of the best experiences I've had in terms of motivation. I learned the importance of focusing on your goals, really going through [my goals], and not just thinking about what I want to do, but really going for it every single day."
"This is a really good program, and now I'm going to do really big things when I grow up," another student said.
Now, the Grant Cardone Foundation is thrilled to continue this work through an extension with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The two-year extension comes at the conclusion of a 14-month collaboration that positively impacted the lives of some of South Florida's at-risk youth.
"We're just thrilled that the Grant Cardone Foundation has stepped up to continue its School to Work partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County in the coming school year," said Malena Mendez, President, and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County. "This past year, Grant and his team have inspired their 14 Littles, graduating seniors from Hallandale High School, to work hard, focus on achievement and build prosperous futures. They truly have equipped these young people with the tools to ignite their power and potential."
Marco Ferreira, Director of Philanthropy at the Grant Cardone Foundation explained: "The Grant Cardone Foundation values the importance of mentors in a youth's life. The Bigs in this program have seen the importance of mentorship and relationship building and saw firsthand their Littles' maturation and growth this school year. GCF is ecstatic about our extended partnership with BBBS."
