America's Promise Alliance : Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company's "Succeed Through Service"SUCCEED THROUGH SERVICERitz-Carlton's Succeed through Service program, in partnership with America’s Promise Alliance, is focused on helping children better prepare for college, work and life. At Ritz-Carlton properties across the U.S. and around the world, our employees are mentoring young students in necessary life skills and engaging them in service-learning and career exploration. Employees are inspiring the children to embrace concepts, such as teamwork and environmental responsibility, and introducing them to necessary life-skills, such as social skills & etiquette. Partnered in service-learning projects to benefit the local community, together they are tackling challenging issues including hunger and homelessness, child literacy and environmental conservation. http://corporate.ritzcarlton.com/en/About/SucceedThroughService.htm “We thank you so much because you’re not only investing in kids, you are investing in the future of our country and the other countries where you are located – and you’re investing in the future of Ritz-Carlton.” General Colin Powell
The record of The Ritz-Carlton "Succeed Through Service"
program can be seen in comments from youngsters who have participated in
workshops, listened to life skills discussions from hotel mentors, and
now look forward to reaching their potential with encouragement from
this volunteer outreach campaign. "Working with The Ritz-Carlton was an
amazing experience because I learned how to make a presentation in a
clean and sharp fashion. I also learned the proper skills of social
etiquette and how to behave in public," said Dominiqe Thian, 8th grader
at Kenmore Middle School, Arlington, Virginia. Jack Henderson, 8th
grader at Sutton Middle School, Atlanta, Georgia added "The Ritz-Carlton
has been teaching us many life skills to help us when we're older. Many
kids don't get this opportunity to learn this stuff. It's great - these
are life skills that will keep us going through our whole life."
