🌟 FUTURE MATTERS SUMMER CAMP 🌟

Thinking about your future can be overwhelming—but we're here to help you get started!

The Tolson Center for Community Excellence and Future Matters (South Bend, IN) are partnering to offer two exciting four-day College & Career Readiness Summer Camps for middle school (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12) students.

Throughout the camp, students will participate in hands-on learning experiences, interactive activities, and engaging discussions designed to help them explore their interests, discover potential career paths, and answer the important question:

✨ "What do I want for my future, and how can I achieve it?" ✨

This is a great opportunity for students to build confidence, develop communication skills, and begin creating a roadmap for their future success.
