Guardian Storage Robinson Supports The Challenge Program, Inc
Guardian Storage Joins other Pittsburgh Businesses to Support Allegheny County Schools through The Challenge Program, Inc.
Local businesses, including our very own Guardian Storage Robinson, contributed $85,000 to The Challenge Program, Inc. to support the Program’s efforts to motivate and reward students during the 2017-2018 Program year in Allegheny County high schools. Through The Challenge Program, Inc., sophomores, juniors and seniors are introduced to careers in their own communities and challenged to compete in five award categories that are directly linked with academic and workforce success: Attendance; STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math); Academic Improvement; Academic Excellence, and Community Service. Additionally, businesses engaged students in a variety of work-related activities such as facility tours, classroom presentations, career days and job-shadowing.
Guardian Storage Robinson and Parkway West CTC:
We have absolutely loved partnering with and supporting The Challenge Program, Inc. Recently, our Robinson location hosted the Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce Biz Blast luncheon and had their grand opening ribbon cutting. Eight student volunteers from Parkway West Career and Technical Center were vital team players in helping make the event a success. Culinary students assisted with food handling while public safety students managed traffic and parking. In addition, digital media students designed and provided signage for the event. This is just one example of the outstanding work ethic and volunteerism seen by the students we sponsor through The Challenge Program, Inc. We are so thrilled to be able to support students in our community.
