Strategic Wealth Partners Joins AIM High – May 2015

Strategic Wealth Partners joins AIM High as a corporate sponsor and mentor. Facilitated by the Center for Companies that Care, AIM High is a ground-breaking student mentoring initiative that strives to send 100% of participating students to 4-year universities, and equip them with the skills needed to succeed in tomorrow’s workplace.

Strategic Wealth Partners is grateful to be a part of an initiative that not only supports higher education and career development, but that also provides young Chicagoans with the means to better themselves.
