The mission of the Friends For A Future Program is to provide Holy Trinity High School students with real world work experiences.  The exposure to meaningful work helps students develop positive plans for their lives and careers.  The program could not fulfill its mission without the support of businesses that are willing to provide the students with summer jobs.  This summer, the Friends For A Future Program placed 24 Holy Trinity High School students in internships with 11 Chicago-area corporations.  Below are the names of the participating corporations and their summer interns.

Tim Bopp has been with the Friends Program since its inception.  He is responsible for recruiting  employers, coordinating student interviews and matching students with internships.

"I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about the Friends For A Future Program and our outstanding students." - Tim Bopp 

"Most of our students do not have professional role models in their families.  The Friends For A Future Program enables our students to gain an understanding of what goes on in the business world, and in most cases, the exposure gives them the confidence to go to college and attain meaningful jobs.  Seeing the students come back to school really excited about the future is one of the best things anyone could experience."
