Nike Mentors Give Latino Youth a Career Boost
The Forest Grove News-Times (OR)
Seven Latino students at Portland Community College's Rock Creek campus are getting a jolt of business savvy from Nike workers, one meeting and piece of advice at a time. As part of a mentoring program that partners the Nike Latino and Friends Network with students from the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), each of the students — all first-generation college scholars from migrant-worker backgrounds — work with a Nike employee at honing crucial job skills and creating networking opportunities.
This is an invaluable resource for parents and bilingual educators, (especially) for those of us who want to maintain our culture.
