PHILADELPHIA – Stradley Ronon recently hosted Philadelphia high school students as part of Philadelphia Futures’ Career Day for its Young Men’s Initiative (YMI). YMI is designed to help young men who will be the first in their families to attend college, develop leadership potential and career awareness. The annual career day event exposes these students to various businesses and professional careers as they continue to navigate high school and prepare for college and their futures.
Stradley Ronon’s Financial Partner, Kevin R. Boyle, who serves on the board of directors for Philadelphia Futures, and Associate Shawn A. Hendricks spoke with the YMI students about the potential of a career in law and the inner-workings of a law firm.
Stradley Ronon’s participation in the Young Men’s Initiative is indicative of the firm’s longstanding commitment to community service. The firm was recently recognized at the Philadelphia Business Journal’s Faces of Philanthropy Awards for its partnership with Philadelphia Futures and for its contributions to the community through pro bono work and nonprofit partnerships.
