The Foundation serves students throughout eleven communities on a variety of work-ready programs. The Attainable Futures is a flagship program that prepares sophomores and junior high school students for the workplace. The Foundation also offers an annual scholarship for those furthering their education and through collaboration may manage scholarships on behalf of a separate business.

Additionally, the Foundation connects with the area school districts to position businesspeople in the classroom for a variety of activities and engagements.

To further advance the mission and nurture the importance of community engagement, the Young Professionals of Chamber630 host a Community Leadership component at every monthly meeting, providing basic needs for a variety of non-profit organizations.

Through a combination of programs, scholarships, and community leadership, the Foundation has used its role to carve out a unique position at the complex intersection point of workforce development, education, and economic development.
