In 1981, Gene Glick founded Pro-100, a six-week summer youth employment program for economically disadvantaged youth in Indianapolis. Pro-100 taught teens the importance of self-discipline, a hard day’s work, and giving back to the community, and has since evolved into a standalone nonprofit organization known today as TeenWorks. Today, TeenWorks empowers teens to achieve excellence in community, college, and career. Glick Philanthropies continues to be TeenWorks’ largest funder and an active partner.
