What's New
October 2026
Helping Pontiac Students Explore Their Futures! 🧡
Recently, Motown Mercy has been working with students in the Pontiac School District on an exciting career exploration project through our Future Leaders Program!
Through this project, students are encouraged to think about their future goals, explore careers that interest them, and discover what it takes to turn their dreams into reality.
Our volunteers have been helping students research different professions and understand the education, training, and skills needed to pursue them. Students are also learning about what a typical workday looks like, potential salaries, career opportunities, and the challenges that come with different professions.
One of the most important parts of this project is helping students build their own career roadmaps. By identifying steps they can take now and throughout their education, students are beginning to see how the decisions they make today can shape their futures.
The project also encourages teamwork, critical thinking, confidence, and public speaking as students prepare to share what they have learned with their peers.
At Motown Mercy, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to dream big, explore their potential, and build a future they are excited about. We're proud to support these young leaders as they discover the possibilities ahead!
