West Palm Beach, Florida Mar 21, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - Suits For Seniors suited 50 young men from Pahokee and Glades Central School through their sponsor Rubenstein Law on Tuesday March 20 at Capital One Cafe in West Palm Beach. After 8 weeks of intense education on Financial Literacy, Leadership, and hands-on training with building a business the high school seniors were awarded their brand new tailored suit.
The tagline for Suits for Seniors, a nonprofit founded in 2015 by then-24-year-old Jervonte Edmonds of West Palm Beach, is ‘The suit is the uniform for success.’ And Edmonds goal is to adequately prepare as many high school seniors as possible for college or a career.
Suits for Seniors is a 501(c)(3) community development organization which operates a program to service under-resourced youth. We Host an 8 week program encompassing; financial literacy, college transition, career exploration, and leadership. A tailored suit is the diploma.
“I remember how I changed when I put that suit on,” said Edmonds, who is now is an Florida Atlantic University Alumni and a licensed real estate agent. “I had no idea who I was or what I wanted to be. But once I was dressed, it was like, the world opened up to me and I seized it.”
Edmonds, thus far, has raised funds primarily through crowdfunding. For more information, visit www.suitsforseniors.org.
