Some of our #TeamAmex colleagues recently participated as mentors at the Pinball Clemons Foundation You(th) Lead Conference! This rewarding experience allowed our colleagues the opportunity to connect with inspiring young people in the program, learn about their aspirations and offer them advice as they enter the workforce. The American Express Foundation has made a 3-year grant commitment to the Pinball Clemons Foundation, and we’re proud to play a role helping fund the critical work this organization does to support our youth. Thanks for having us!
