(DETROIT – September 18, 2017) As part of an ongoing commitment to the communities they serve, Great Expressions Dental Centers (GEDC), a leading dental support organization, has teamed up with Purpose Prep, an online education resource transforming the student learning experience through innovative and engaging solutions for K-12 districts and schools. Together, GEDC and Purpose Prep will empower teen Detroit students at Cornerstone Health and Technology High School to reach their full potential and pursue a bright future.
“Partnerships like this help ensure our students are equipped with the resources they need to succeed in their future endeavors,” said Jared Davis, principal of Cornerstone Health and Technology High School. “Each student is unique in their talents and passions and Purpose Prep allows them the ability to explore these as they discover their purpose through personal and leadership skills.”
Understanding that a solid education is essential to future success, GEDC will sponsor 100 Detroit students as they undergo two of Purpose Prep’s hybrid e-learning courses. Purpose Prep includes personal and leadership development courses that aim to enhance academic achievement, life skills, critical thinking, career development, passions and the overall progression to success.
“Education is the foundation of childhood development, so it is critical that local organizations such as Great Expressions support students and schools whenever possible,” said Richard Beckman, chief executive officer of GEDC. “Through such partnerships, we’re able to provide the resources our local Detroit students need to be successful.”
The program, which features classes taught once a week during regular school hours, will take place September 2017 through May 2018. GEDC also has provided their 100 students a backpack full of school supplies and dental products.
“There’s nothing better than seeing companies unite to empower young people in Detroit to discover their purpose,” said Daniel Budzinski, chief executive officer of Purpose Prep.
