PREP-KC and its partners would like to thank all the companies and independent professionals who participated in our workplace tours, job shadowing and speaking programs. PREP-KC values our partnerships with the Kansas City, Missouri School District and Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools, and celebrates the commitment of the many educators who made these experiences possible for Kansas City’s urban students.

Each volunteer professional made 2008-09 an inspiring year for Kansas City’s students. We look forward to continuing our partnership with them this year!
