FEATURED CORPORATION: MANPOWER
Manpower is proud to partner with Our Next Generation to sponsor Homework Club. In its second year, this partnership brings approximately 20 kids from grades 4 through 8 to Manpower’s global headquarters twice a week. The partnership, according to Pam Brown who manages Manpower’s community involvement initiative, is a natural. "Manpower is committed to helping develop the workforce of tomorrow," Pam reports, "and the Our Next Generation kids are exactly the type of young people we want to reach." |

The young people who participate in the program are getting their homework done, but there’s a whole lot more going on. By spending time inside a corporate headquarters, these kids are learning that the corporate world isn’t a scary place, but a place where they can fit in. It’s a place where they can be comfortable; a place that’s filled with nice people. The Manpower headquarters is also filled with valuable resources. For example, when it comes time to work on a report where the kids need Internet access, they accompany their mentor to his/her office and work together. The ONG kids see firsthand what goes on in a real work environment, and that’s a tremendous advantage for them.
An important key to the success of the program is Our Next Generation’s staff. They make sure the kids are prepared to settle down to work, and are always present in case there are homework questions our volunteers can’t answer.
What’s in it for our volunteers? Homework Club is a lot of fun, and our volunteers cherish the opportunity to develop a very special friendship. A testament to the partnership is the fact that there’s never a problem getting enough volunteers for Homework Club!
