“Individual Breakfast Group members meet weekly with Project Mister youth for dialog and direction. This provides an opportunity for members to interact with the youth in an exchange of experiences, advice on career planning and numerous other topics which are initiated by youth. Education and career planning along with employment opportunities and preparation for employment are always key topics in the sessions. The sessions are conducted at two alternative high schools in Seattle, WA with 20-30 students in each class with an instructor.”

“The project is an offshoot of the Tie-One-on program. In 1996, a local necktie manufacturer, Mallory & Church, developed a partnership with The Breakfast Group to provide neckties for the event. This lead to the development of the project which includes a necktie design being manufactured and provided for the participants at the event. The project also includes a marketing component in which the youth, staff, and The Breakfast Group members sell the neckties with the proceeds going back to the program. This is an excellent program that introduces the youth to the basics of production, marketing, and sale of a product.”

“All Achievers Program - The Breakfast Group Scholarship program is directed primarily at low-income youth who are recommended by counselors and principals at the 16 public high schools in Seattle. Scholarship awardees are selected from a pool of candidates submitted by the schools. A scholarship committee selects the awardees based on the quality of the criteria presented by each candidate. Key selection elements are grade point average, community activities, extra-curricular school activities, letter of recommendation, and a written essay. The number of scholarships is based on the funds available from The Breakfast Group fundraising efforts. Most scholarships are for one-year - $1,000 for 4-year institutions $500 for a 2-yr college. Several legacy awards are given to the highest achievers. These awards are for 4 years at $1,000 per year provided the student maintains a grade point average of 2.5 or better.”
