They're working their way through college while they're still in high school.

Too many young people lose the chance for a college education while they're still in high school. And General Foods thinks this is a terrible waste of potential. 

Twelve years ago, we started a summer job program to give young people from disadvantaged families in Westchester County, New York a better advantage.
With Operation Opportunity, students can work and learn at our Corporate Headquarters. And while they're earning summer money, General Foods puts an equal amount into a special escrow fund to be used for their higher education. So far, 95% of the teenagers who have participated have continued their schooling.

Operation Opportunity is our way of feeding the community for the future. Because with money, students who might enter the school of hard knocks...can knock harder at the doors of higher education.
