Mission

Founded in 2014, the Access Partners Scholarship Fund is a private, 501(c)(3) charitable foundation committed to primarily serving two groups working toward a career in the foodservice or janitorial industries:
We assist students financially and professionally, , mentoring them, and helping them gain career placement in the world of business. Our efforts involve four activities:

Awarding scholarships to deserving students.

Providing meaningful internships and other training for our students.

Matching students with professional mentors in sales, marketing or related fields in our industry.

Assisting our students with career placement in our industry.

Our program works both directly and indirectly with a number of schools including California State University, Pomona, where our program was founded. We seek to serve as a bridge between the academic world and the business world, ensuring students can translate knowledge into practical, tangible skillsets valued by todays employers. Ultimately, we want our students to be highly qualified for positions in our industry and beyond where they can not just earn a living, but find a career.
We match students with a mentor from our industry who assists them throughout the process. Our mentors can provide guidance, recommendations and tangible support.
