A big thank you to West Chester University of Pennsylvania for welcoming Chester County Futures on campus for the annual Career Expo! 80 students grades 9-12 from Oxford Area High School Coatesville Area School District Phoenixville Area School District and The Kennett Consolidated School District had the opportunity to engage with 40 career exhibitors, asking insightful questions about career paths, education backgrounds, and future opportunities. The expo is designed to help students explore new possibilities and discover exciting career options. Students also got a tour of campus and lunch in the dining hall. We appreciate all the community members who contributed their time and expertise to make this event a success. Chester County is truly a place that invests in its youth, sharing knowledge and guidance to inspire the next generation! #CareerExploration #FutureLeaders #CommunitySupport

A huge thank you to our incredible community partners for coming together for an MLK Day of Service with the Coatesville Area School District Intermediate High School students! Although the event was rescheduled due to January’s weather, it turned into a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about community services and explore volunteer opportunities. During the assembly, presenters shared valuable insights about the impact of their work and how students can get involved in making a difference. To further contribute, students took time to write uplifting notes for Meals on Wheels, adding a personal touch to brighten someone's day. A special thank you to Brian Chenger, the school principal, and to all the dedicated teachers for inspiring and guiding our youth. It’s clear that Coatesville has a community of caring students eager to spread kindness and support. We encourage everyone to visit our community partners’ websites to learn more about volunteer opportunities and ways to give back. Together, we make a difference!

Figuring out what career to pursue doesn’t have to be stressful. But with a little help, our students can find their perfect match. Thank you to IMC Construction for supporting our career exploration efforts and empowering the next generation!
