Higginbotham is a founding corporate partner of the Cristo Rey Fort Worth College Prep internship program.
Our company is dedicated to providing high school students with valuable workforce experience and career skills by mentoring them for one full day every week throughout the entire school year.
Each student is assigned a mentor in a different department, where they have the opportunity to learn various office tasks, attend meetings, and even earn volunteer hours by participating in community events.
Higginbotham has always been passionate about mentoring the next generation. We have had the pleasure of hiring multiple Cristo Rey interns for both part-time and full-time roles and have been actively involved for six years.
I had the joyful experience of co-chaperoning the students with Priscilla Miller at the Fort Worth Zoo to earn volunteer hours. We visted the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth for a nonprofit tour with Angie Gallaway, CFRE, where they learned about the organization’s mission and met its wonderful staff, including their family dog, Chief. We also had a meeting with Lexi Martinez of HF Custom Solutions to provide our students with insight into marketing, e-commerce, and wholesale corporate partnerships.
This year has started off great! We can't wait to share more moments with you and these amazing students!
If you are the owner of a company or the manager of a nonprofit organization, please consider partnering with this exceptional school and assisting in the development of the next generation of leaders in our city.
