LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Enterprise for High School Students Founder
“We all know that a job during high school can put a young
person on the path to a fulfilling future. The problem is there
are motivated kids who can’t get a job, and might not
even be aware of what’s possible.“
W
hen I started Enterprise for High School Students back in
my living room as an experiment to find neighborhood kids
jobs way back in 1969 with a few friends, I never imagined that I’d
be sitting in that same room 45 years later planning for Enterprise’s
50th Anniversary! But there I was in mid-October, joined by Enterprise
students Lea Radup and Kiki Wu, along with Enterprise’s early
supporters Betty Burnham, Millicent Susens and George Susens,
past Board members Kris O’Donnell and Charlie Wilmoth,
Enterprise’s ED Tony DiStefano, Board president Peter Mueller,
president elect Jeff Hocking and more than a dozen other
wonderful friends of Enterprise.
The highlight of the evening was our group conversation. As we
listened to Lea and Kiki talk about their experiences at Enterprise
we saw how Enterprise has matured over the past 45 years.
We’ve evolved from helping a handful of students find summer
jobs into an integrated group of workshops, counseling services,
internships and jobs that help young people develop the skills,
confidence and connections to thrive.
We all know that a job during high school can put a young person
on the path to a fulfilling future. The problem is there are motivated
kids who can’t get a job, and might not even be aware of what’s possible.

Victoria Zitrin
grew up in a family of four, with parents who did
not know how to speak English, had no formal
education, and struggled to put food on the table.
My mother came to the U.S. in 1982 and started
out working at a sewing factory while taking ESL
classes at City College of San Francisco. My father
came to the U.S. in 1985 and started his career
as a busboy in a small restaurant. Both worked
numerous menial jobs within their first 10 years
to accumulate any sort of savings.
We lived in a one-room basement for over twelve
years. I was too young to process and comprehend
our situation at the time, but every time I look
back at my childhood and my parents’ journey,
I get extremely emotional and am so grateful for
all of the time, energy, effort, money and unconditional love my parents have poured onto us to
give us our best shot at being successful – to
hopefully live the American Dream they never
got to experience.
I first found out about EHSS through my sister.
She told me about all the networking, job
opportunities, and workforce development and
training EHSS provides to high school students
in the Bay Area.
During the summer of 2009, going into my
senior year of high school, I was accepted into
the Career Exploration Program and placed at an
internship with Chevron Energy Solutions (CES).
I went through extensive EHSS workshops, training
sessions, and weekly check-ins to ensure I was
gaining the most from my experience. I worked
as the Product Marketing and Strategic Alliances
Intern, and partnered closely with the Marketing
Team to secure renewable energy and energy
efficiency programs for the public sector.
The people that I worked with inspired me!
They were highly motivated, intelligent, and
truly passionate about the company’s goals and
the values. I became extremely close with my
supervisor and as my internship at CES came
to an end she extended an offer to continue
working with CES throughout the school year.
I continued to work for CES from 2009-2012,
Jessica Peng shares her Enterprise experience with current EHSS youth.
part-time during school years and full-time
during summers.
My experience at EHSS and CES made such a
tremendous personal and positive impact during
my last developmental year in high school that
I decided to pursue an Environmental Studies
and Economics degree at UC Santa Cruz.
As I got ready to graduate from UC Santa Cruz,
I contacted my former advisor at EHSS and he
connected me with an executive at one of the
employers in the EHSS network. That employer
put me in touch with senior executives at
various firms in the energy industry – including
my future boss! I recently accepted an offer
with PG&E as the ISO Settlements Analyst.
I have met so many wonderful and compassionate
people along this journey – entirely selfless
and altruistic individuals, and it all started and
ended with EHSS. Thanks to EHSS I was able
to hone my interpersonal skills, develop and
expand my workplace skills and find my way
into an exciting career!
The mission of Enterprise is to engage and
empower San Francisco Bay Area youth to
discover career opportunities and cultivate
their individual interests through training,
guidance and employment experiences in a
diverse and supportive learning environment.
EHSS envisions that all San Francisco Bay Area
youth realize their potential, invest in their
future and become successful and socially
responsible members of society.

Daniel's Amazing Story
This Way Ahead (TWA): Growing to Provide More Youth With Promising Futures
W
icture a room of 30 students, all starting a new, rigorous 14
week training program designed to prepare them for their
futures, to help them achieve their goals, become more independent
and increase their confidence and leadership skills. It was my first
day working as the Youth Development Counselor for the This
Way Ahead Program at Enterprise for High School Students. The
students were new to me, new to each other and for the first time,
meeting to be trained for their Gap and Old Navy Intern positions.
P
e met Daniel early in his sophomore
year at Mission High. We were on campus
recruiting for our This Way Ahead Program and
Daniel, an extremely shy boy, attended one
of our information sessions. He decided to enroll
in the program in order to earn money to help
out at home. Daniel’s parents had come to the
U.S. from Viet Nam. His Mom worked as a
maid at a hotel on Fisherman’s Wharf and his
Dad worked in a restaurant in North Beach.
We started with a simple and pretty standard request of each
student: Introduce yourself, name the store where you will be
interning, and share one fact we don’t know about you. Everything
went as expected until we came to the last student, Isabella*, a 17
year old high school senior, got up. “I’m 3 months pregnant and
I’m keeping it” she said.
Daniel was accepted into This Way Ahead and
attended twenty-eight workshops after school
each week for fourteen weeks. Near the end
of the workshops series, Daniel applied for
an internship as a sales associate at either a
Gap or Old Navy store. About half of the
student applicants were accepted, but Daniel
was turned down - he hadn’t developed strong
enough communications skills.
Daniel set his mind to the task as we began
working with the Olympic Club to encourage
more golfers sign up for rounds with our
caddies. As his rounds began to grow we met
with Daniel and his parents to talk about
the scholarship requirements and the eligible
universities- all of which are out of state.
He then applied for a summer position in our Junior
Caddie Program at the Olympic Club. He was
accepted and planned to hone his communications
skills while caddying. But then something
unexpected and wonderful happened.
By time the end of the summer before his
junior year Daniel had hit the half way mark25 rounds down, 25 to go. This past summer he
did it again. Now with 50 rounds behind him,
he is applying to Evans campuses along with a
number of California Universities. He showed
us all that it was possible. This past summer we
had a total of five students on the Evans track
and they all hit 25 rounds.
Daniel entered the caddy program the year
that program participants were first eligible to
apply for an Evans Scholarship. Evans Scholars
receive full tuition plus housing to one of nineteen prestigious universities. More than two
hundred scholarships are awarded each year and
awards are based on four selection criteria:
financial need, academic merit, character AND
Scholars must have caddied at least fifty rounds
of golf while in high school. Up to that point, we
had never had a caddie reach fifty rounds. Ever.
Daniel is now a confident young man. Earlier this
summer he caddied for scholarship committee
members and scholarship funders and he really
impressed them. We spoke
to one of them afterward.
He was SO impressed that
he invited us to submit a
grant request to his family
Foundation to support the
expansion of This Way Ahead
- the program that gave
Daniel this fantastic chance
to get ahead.

The internship phase of the This Way Ahead program ended in
September and those interns who excelled during the internship
were offered permanent employment. Despite Isabella’s many
challenges in life and her belly growing even bigger she had excelled
so much that she was taken on as permanent staff. This Way Ahead
had guided her not only into her first paid internship but also
into her first real job. Isabella continued to excel as she navigated
taking time-off for the birth of her son. From all of her hard
work to understand professionalism she had secured employment
when she was ready to go back to work in order to raise her son.
As I got to know Isabella, I got to know a lot more about her
situation. She was living in a home with 13 other people and
she and her and her siblings were all separated by the foster care
system because of her mother’s drug dependence. She struggled
in school for many reasons but an important one was that she
was trying to look out for her younger brother who was in a
much worse foster care situation than she. She faced barriers and
for her, the This Way Ahead program which had trained her not
only in essential job readiness skills but also fiscal responsibility,
public speaking, time-management and supported her in gaining
maturity, was a dire transition from youth to adulthood. It was a
life changing opportunity that changed the path she had been on
to one that provided her a way to dream of a promising future.
Slowly I got to know all of the This Way Ahead interns that year.
Although the first fact I learned from many of them might have
been trivial, the facts I learned from most turned out to mirror
Isabella’s on that first day of training.
The This Way Ahead Program works with students like Isabella who
face barriers. These students we identify as Opportunity Youth.
Opportunity Youth are youth ages 16-24 and are disconnected
or at risk of becoming disconnected from school and work. They
are referred to as Opportunity Youth because of the “opportunity
costs” their disconnection presents to themselves and society.
Finding solutions to engage these
youth and get them on productive
pathways is critical.
After the 14 week job readiness intensive, Isabella was awarded
a coveted internship spot working in Gap’s busiest store in San
Francisco on Market Street. She continued to need and receive
support from This Way Ahead and guidance on how to be
successful. Isabella accepted the support and grew even further
in this next stage of the program and was able to find her niche
working in the Kids and Baby Department.
The cost to the United States in lost revenues and social services
associated with these Opportunity Youth is $93 billion.
This year we celebrate This Way Ahead’s 5th year of changing the lives
of Opportunity Youth in the Bay Area. In 5 years we have given 327
young people the chance to head down a different path, a path that
brings to life setting and achieving goals, a path that strengthens
families and communities, a path that sees economic success. Isabella
is one of the 327. One of the lives that is now on a different path.
One of the Opportunity Youth that will see a different future.
Over the next 5 years we hope to expand This Way Ahead to
double in size to make room for more to succeed. At Enterprise,
we deeply believe that This Way Ahead is addressing an issue of
vital importance - locally, nationally and globally; we can’t
eliminate income inequality, but we can make a dent in it - at
least here in San Francisco.

This is what it takes to put on The San Francisco Fall Antiques Show.
Alexander Bie, the show drew
a large crowd this year, due to
amazing press and a ramped up

The 33rd Annual Show once again reigned as the most important
art and antiques show on west coast and one of the top in the world.
And, as always, the Opening Night Preview Gala was the best party

Junior Caddie Program: Awards David Rawson Memorial Scholarship
T
hanks to the incredible support of Olympic Club members and
staff, this year’s Junior Caddie Program at The Olympic reached
an unprecedented level of success. More students caddied more
rounds of golf than ever before.
The choice was once
again very difficult. The
committee ultimately
decided to award a
scholarship in the
amount of $4,000
to graduating senior
Calvin Louie.
The program, which provides San Francisco high school students
with an extraordinary opportunity to caddy at one of the
country’s finest golf courses, is a partnership between Enterprise
for High School Students and The Olympic Club. It offers a
diverse spectrum of high school students the opportunity to both
learn the game of golf and to gain an understanding of how rising
early, working long hours and having a positive attitude can
translate into all kinds of opportunities. The Olympic Club staff
and its members have been vital to the success of the program. In
addition to the skills and work ethic gained by the youth, their
interactions with both Club staff and members have proven to
be invaluable.
Andrea Rawson, Calvin Louie, Tony DiStefano, Dave Rawson
Calvin attended Lowell High School and enrolled at UC Santa
Barbara this autumn. Calvin, who will be studying mechanical
engineering, originally wasn’t sure if he wanted to major in
engineering or architecture. A summer internship made possible
through Enterprise’s Career Exploration Program after his junior
year helped Calvin decide on engineering. He has been an Enterprise
member since tenth grade and participated in Enterprise’s Pathways,
Career Exploration and Junior Caddie programs.
This year’s caddies were the sixth group to be considered for the
David Rawson Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship was established
in memory of young David Rawson, who was passionate about
golf and a member of The Olympic Club’s Junior Golf Section.
A committee consisting of three OC members and Enterprise’s
Executive Director, evaluated scholarship applications from those
Junior Caddies who had completed their junior or senior year of
high school and who plan to attend college.
The Junior Caddie Program runs from Memorial Day through
August each summer. Member participation is crucial to the program’s
success and it’s easy and rewarding to hire a Junior Caddie.
Member participation was so strong in 2014 that the caddies
worked an unprecedented number of rounds. If you would like
to learn more about the program or the Scholarship or make a

The New EHSS “E-Boutique”
A
year and a half ago when we would look at the lone rack of
clothes sitting in a back corner of our offices one word would
come to mind, “sad”. The clothes hanging there were dated, old and
quite frankly, nothing a teenager would ever consider wearing.
It was then that we decided that something had to be done. We
are an organization that teaches every aspect of professionalism,
including business attire, but we were unable to help our students
when it came to “looking the part” of a professional. We all knew
that part of feeling good is looking good and that if we could
provide our students with business apparel, their confidence would
most likely be a lot higher when they entered the interview room.
Our first call was to then board member, Margaret Hensley, owner
of Goodbyes Consignment and longtime supporter of Enterprise
for High School Students. After explaining our situation she agreed
to not only donate clothing but put us in contact with Kathy Miner,
Executive Director of Miner Miracles, a non-profit that had also
provided career attire for its members. One call to Kathy and she
jumped right in. She donated brand new skirts, tops, shoes, dresses
and blazers as well as two clothing racks to help house all of our
new wears.
The momentum and outpouring of generosity has been so strong
that when we did the office redesign we had to build a place for
our new “E-Boutique” to reside permanently. We now have three
racks filled to capacity and a filing cabinet that stocks our overflow
items. We have been fortunate to have partners such as Wells Fargo
and Gap hold clothing drives on our behalf and most recently the
Gap Foundation donated Old Navy gift cards that allowed us to
purchase over 20 pairs of shoes along with a variety of other professional items before our new Pathways cycle begins in September.
We knew that Ross and the TJX Corporation (parent company
to TJ Maxx and Marshall’s) were incredibly philanthropic so we
reached out to them to possibly donate gift cards to supplement
items that we needed to round out the boutique. Over the past
year and half, both companies have donated generously with
both gift cards and hard goods that allow us to buy for students
with specific needs.
First Annual Partnership
Appreciation Event
F
ebruary 20, 2014 marked our First Annual
Partner Appreciation Event! We were excited
to showcase our newly renovated space, thank our
donors and partners for all of their support, and
highlight how we’re making an impact in the lives
of hundreds of San Francisco youth. Fun was had
by all! We look forward to our Second Annual
Partner Appreciation Event scheduled to take
place in May 2015.
This year over 300 students will be served by our programs and
we are so happy to know that we will be able to help them look,
and feel their best when they look for their first jobs.
If you are interested in donating in the future, please contact
Iliana Martinez at 392-7600 ext. 315.
