Birmingham Promise

We are getting ready to celebrate our fearless leader, Samantha Williams, turning 40! To help us celebrate, we're asking for 40 new donors to give to our scholarship and internship programs over the next 40 days. Thank you, Samantha, for your leadership at Birmingham Promise and for all you do to invest in our city's next generation. To show your support, please donate at https://lnkd.in/gmhyJB7U

Confused about the difference between an internship and apprenticeship? That's OK! Both are valuable programs that can help students gain work experience and learn certain job skills, but there are a few key differences. Interested in learning more about our work-based learning programs? Visit birminghampromise.org for more information on our apprenticeship exploration and internship programs for Birmingham City Schools students. 

We had a blast cheering on the Birmingham Legion FC last week! Our staff had the honor of attending the game as guests of the team. Go Legion! #nonprofit #soccer #Bhmlegion 

We're celebrating FIVE YEARS of Birmingham Promise! Since 2019, we have worked hard to provide vaulable tuition assistance, internships and other opportunities to Birmingham City Schools students, and we can't believe how far we've come! More than 1,200 students have been a part of our scholarship program and received tuition assistance, student success coaching and all that our program provides. Here's to five more years! #anniversary #birthday #nonprofit #scholarship #education #Birmingham

The Birmingham Promise internship program allows Birmingham City Schools seniors to engage with local businesses and gain real-life work experience. Interns are connected with a business for a semster, and students get PAID to work. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gtW2WAcm.

Birmingham Promise employer partners play a huge role in what we do for our students. Our employer partners host an intern for a semester and mentor students to help them develop core workplace skills and explore post-grad options. Our partners believe in the importance of high-quality work-based learning and investing in our next generation of workers. Does that sound like your business?

The Birmingham Promise scholarship program gives last-dollar tuition assistance to Birmingham City Schools graduates because college days should be the best days -- not a time of getting loaded down by student debt. Learn more at birminghampromise.org and stay tuned for more information on how to apply!

We want to make sure our students have the support they need to launch a career, earn a degree, and invest in their community. Whether it's through scholarships or internships, we are investing in our city's next generation. Learn more at birminghampromise.org.
