The Pot

$0.00

In 2003, the Rotary Club of Chicago was looking for a vocational services program that would deliver significant community value and engage rotary members as well as the community it serves. With that, the Job1© Summer Internship Program was created.

The Job1© Summer Internship Program provides job readiness training and summer jobs to qualified Chicago Public School (CPS) high school students. Job1© is part of the city's KidStart Corporate Initiative, preparing CPS high school students for the workplace by providing substantive internship opportunities with local businesses and firms in the Chicago land area.

After the selected students have been chosen for the program they undergo a series of training sessions that take place on Saturday mornings, ending with a mock interview. The students are then matched up with employers to interview for the summer internship positions at firms and companies in Chicago. The employers get the final decision in who they hire for the 8 week program. To find out more information about the Job1© Summer Internship program or about Rotary Club of Chicago, please visit our website at www.rotaryone.org

The Job1© Split the Pot Raffle is an opportunity to win a great cash prize while supporting Chicago and its high school students through Job1©.

The Rotary Club of Chicago is hosting a fundraising campaign to support its Job1© program. One lucky fan will receive forty (40) percent of the gross pot as a cash prize as determined by total ticket sales within this event! The Job1© Internship Program will receive the balance (minus fees by the provider).

Drawing will be held at 12PM on May 29th. Every ticket purchased adds to the potential winning pot as well as increases support for Chicago Public School students and the Job1© Summer Internship Program!

All net proceeds from this raffle will directly support summer youth interns. The Rotary Club of Chicago will use the funds to provide a grant to a Chicago nonprofit so that they may hire an intern from Job1© for the summer. So the more support we can all generate the more excitement and help we can bring.

Best of Luck in the raffle and for more information on Rotary One or the Job1© Program visit www.rotaryone.org, visit us at Rotary/One™, 65 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, or click the sponsorship link below.
