Mentorship Academy graduates Zion Buford and Jocelyn Williams interview the change agents who are helping to make a tangible, impactful and local difference, ultimately carving a Path Forward in our region. Fresh content is updated weekly featuring reflections on Mentorship Academy journeys from graduates and current students as well as commentary from CNX Resources CEO Nick Deluliis.

In this week’s episode, our hosts join The Bus Stops Here Foundation for the launch of the WOW (Wifi On Wheels) Cyber Bus. CNX Foundation’s $200,000 investment into the project provides students and parents across the Pittsburgh region with remote learning opportunities in topics ranging from STEM education to financial literacy.

“When this opportunity popped up with the Cyber Bus, it was a no brainer,” said CNX Resources CEO Nick Deiuliis. “We’re going to impact everybody, from grade school kids to senior citizens to access technology. It checked all the boxes.”

The Mentorship Academy is an initiative of CNX Foundation and part of CNX’s commitment to investing in its local community. Designed for high school students who do not plan to immediately attend a four-year college, the Academy is focused on providing urban and rural youth from economically disadvantaged regional Appalachian communities with greater opportunities—helping provide these young adults a bridge to family-sustaining careers. Following the mentorship program, students will have developed new relationships with peers and business leaders across western Pennsylvania, a new excitement for the region’s career opportunities and an understanding of how to pursue those careers.
