• Facebook brought us closer to our
friends, LinkedIn has provided us with
invaluable business tools, and Twitter
has brought the world to our fingertips.
• Edmodo has been bringing the power of
the web and mobile to students and has
become the largest social learning
network in the world for k12 learning.
• Founders4Schools has brought the
power of LinkedIn to teachers so their
students can explore businesses within 5
miles of the school’s location and invite
them to speak to the students or help
students get workplace visits…
OUR MISSION &
GOALSFounders4Schools’ mission as
a charity is to improve society
by increasing youth
employability.
We do this by ensuring that young people
have:
➤ At least four encounters with employers
each year while they are between the
age of 8 and 16
➤ And 140 hours of work experience
placements between the age of 16 and
24
The following values are firmly embedded in
the charity and guide us in everything that we
do:
➤ Scale: we measure our achievements by the
extent they work for our customers
➤ Collaborative : We achieve impact by working
collaboratively with customers & partners
➤ Achieve: we set and achieve our goals in
relation to our customer needs
➤ Leadership: We lead by example
➤ Execution: We commit to doing what we say
when we say how we say
