Thunderbirds Charities
Life Planning Center
The Thunderbirds Charities Life Planning Center offers a series of mentoring, individual counseling, college readiness training, and career and academic planning services.
Life Plans are authored by each student. The students identify specific academic and career goals along with the steps needed to achieve them.
The WorkLink Program partners with local employers such as APS and the City of Phoenix to provide internships or full-time employment for Genesis students.
WorkLink Success Story: Raymond was raised in the dangerous "gang life" and was nearly illiterate before a friend told him about Genesis. Our dedicated teachers provided Raymond with a new outlook on education through discipline and positive encouragement. The WorkLink Program helped Raymond gain self-confidence and employment skills. Upon graduation from Genesis, Mr Luis Bleuze, WorkLink Coordinator, aided Raymond in aquiring a position at Arizona Public Service where he is still currently employed. Because of Genesis, Raymond discovered that he has many opportunities in life beyond his crime-ridden neighborhood. Now, Raymond is a homeowner, father, and contributing community member.
