As part of our year-round United Way awareness effort, in 2005 the Los Angeles office “adopted” the Boys and Girls Clubs of East Los Angeles, which covered the cost of the following programs:
Tomorrow’s Leaders: PwC volunteers' generosity supported 166 youth in the Tomorrow’s Leaders program in 2005. Sixty percent of the youth improved their grades and 99% achieved basic computer literacy.
Day of Caring: Using the color palette chosen by the children at the Clubs, volunteers spent a day with the children and painted their recreation and education room.
Thanksgiving Day Celebration: For the last two years our PwC volunteers served over 1000 Thanksgiving Day dinners to the families of the Clubs.
Career Night: PwC helped launch Career Night last winter. The goal of the project is to expose the students at the Clubs to many different career opportunities and motivate them to begin thinking about pursuing a professional career.
