Program Fees for Jabez to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum
Posted Mar 24, 2021
While Jabez is very proud of all of his accolades, they pale in comparison to the recent invitation from St. John's University to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum: Business Innovation - 7 Days to Startup. At the forum, Jabez will be able to gain hands-on business and startup experience, learn from recognized business leaders and St. John's business faculty, and make connections with fellow high-achieving, business-minded students from across the country. It is Jabez's dream come true, but he is unable to raise the funds to attend and came to One Simple Wish for help. The sky's the limit for Jabez, and he has such unlimited potential. Granting this wish will allow Jabez to attend this amazing conference, and will open doors for him that he would not have access to otherwise.
Jabez is 21 years old and lives in NJ
Jabez has been in multiple foster care homes in the last two years, but throughout all of the turmoil, he has stayed laser focused on his education at Malcolm X Shabazz High School. He is a stand-out high school senior who has won multiple awards and plays varsity baseball with his sites on attending college, becoming an entrepreneur, and playing in the Major Leagues. He has even been invited to visit Tennessee University as a potential college choice. Jabez has many accomplishments to point to, including being selected by the Malcolm X Shabazz BioGeo Chemistry Team to attend the largest school science fair in San Francisco, attending the 7th Blacks on Wall Street Forum to learn about business, and was recently nominated by his High School to be a part of the National Society of High School Scholars.
