Think Big for Kids is proud of our founder and chair, Tony DiBenedetto, for being named to Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Power 100 for the second year in a row. The Power 100 is a guide to the Tampa Bay region’s most influential business leaders, selected based on leadership qualities, accomplishments, and how the candidate impacts the regional business community. Tony founded Think Big for Kids in 2016 with the mission to help kids break out of the poverty cycle while fueling the economy with talent to fill high-demand positions in growing industries. He and a team of volunteers created a programmatic roadmap that engages kids from sixth to 12th grade throughout the completion of post-graduation education or training and to their chosen career path. Tony recruited other businesses to join the program with a commitment to providing mentorship, internships, scholarships and ultimately job offers. Think Big has since expanded to Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, New Jersey, and Metro DC.

Would you like to join Tony and our Think Big team in working towards our goal of serving 10,000 kids by 2025 by providing middle and high school students in poverty with opportunities for career exploration, mentorship, and job readiness and placement?
