 Project First Job was
developed because thousands of students are dropping out of school.
Millions of students have a MySpace page. It might be fair to say
that over 50% of all teenagers in America have a MySpace page or
certainly knows someone with one.
School
districts from East to West Coast are now paying SELECT
at-risk high school students to stay in school.
Paying ALL
students to stay in school and connecting with their TRUE
FRIENDS is fun, engaging and will be a wonderful PERPETUAL FUNDRAISER
for your school.
Consider the
following: (Source:
California Dropout
Research Project
)
• A high school
dropout earns about $260,000 less over a lifetime and pays about
$60,000 less in taxes than a high school graduate;
• America loses
$192 billion in combined income and tax revenue for each cohort of
students who never complete high school;
• Increasing the
high school completion rate by just 1 percent for all men ages 20-60
would save the U.S. up to $1.4 billion per year in reduced costs
from crime;
• High school
dropouts have a life expectancy that is 9.2 years shorter than high
school graduates
