La Crosse Promise will be holding two special events in March 2019 for high school students in La Crosse.
Explore Your Future is designed to connect students with employers and other organizations in our community as part of our ongoing efforts to help kids plan for successful futures.
The "Explore Your Future" Fair will kick off at Logan High School on March 19, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. followed by a second event at Central High School on March 26, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
We are inviting local employers, colleges, organizations, unions and other members of the business and non-profit community. The goal is to bring the "future" to the students so they can ask questions, find resources and discover the world of work and educational opportunities through connecting with the community.
Registration for participants will begin in December. If you are interested in participating, please contact us at 608.789.2049.

La Crosse Promise recently received an anonymous donation for $15,000 from a local business who believes in our mission. We also received support from UW-Credit Union (above) who not only donated $1000 but also will become partners with the Future Center and help students navigate the costs of college, financial aid, credit responsibility and budgeting for the future. Thank you to all for your generosity and support of our programs.
