Performance Trust is a
learning organization built on a foundation of intellectual curiosity and
debate and is committed to intellectual honesty, integrity, and results. This
Fall, Performance Trust is proud to celebrate ten years of continued
partnership with Chicago Debates, an organization committed to empowering urban
youth through academic debate.
"Chicago Debates unlocks for students
the capacity to be intellectually curious, find their voice, and lead in an
increasingly polarized world," says David Gobberdiel, Managing Director and
Head of Balance Sheet Strategy at Performance Trust. "At Performance Trust, we
celebrate strong opinions—supported by evidence—to drive great results. We're
humbled to be a small part of Chicago Debates' work, on behalf of students, in
our hometown of Chicago."
The continued partnership
enables the youth of Chicago to find their voice, realize advancement in
educational achievement in high school and college, and contribute to and
become leaders in their community.
"For over a decade, Performance Trust has partnered with Chicago
Debates to bridge the educational opportunity gap for thousands of middle and
high school students from Chicago Public Schools. We are immensely
grateful for that partnership and for their commitment in helping to build a
more equitable future for some of Chicago's most marginalized youth," says Dr. Toinette Gunn, Executive Director of Chicago
Debates. "We are thrilled that Performance
Trust shares our passion for investing in the cultivation of academic,
social-emotional, career, and leadership skills for deserving Chicago Public
School students. The development of these skills not only has a positive impact
on students' academic performance, but also prepares them for career success
and future roles of leadership. We look forward to expanding our partnership
with Performance Trust as we embark upon our five-year goal to serve 1000+ more
students."
