 Youth, ages 8-14, from the Metopolitan Detroit area gathered to explore careers, consider post-secondary options, and make connections that will improve their math literacy and proficiency skills on the campus of Baker College of Auburn Hills, Michigan. POWER Org (a 501c3 educational organization) is excited about the expansion of the Annual Math Mini Career Conferences from an average of 75 youth since its pilot at WCCCD in 2006 to an average of 100 youth per event in 2009. Conferences are offered at NO COST to participants.
While the conference actively recruits youth who are academically at-risk, all youth are welcome! The conference attracts youth from 20+ different zip codes with a variety of interest and skill levels. Baker College of Auburn Hills serve as host to a strong partnership of community leaders gathering to Help Youth Succeed with Math for the third consecutive year. Each professional invests 1-6 hours of their time and resources to motivating and encouraging Metro Detroit youth with their academics and career pathways. Baker staff, instructors, and students will partner with other educators, businesses, and community agencies to help facilitate these dynamic conferences.
