Educators

Educators play a vital role in the lives of students. Through the ProStart® program, teachers can impact their students by preparing them with skills they can use the rest of their lives.

"This program rewards students who possess the exceptional traits of perseverance and positive attitudes. Our hard working students have a great opportunity to excel in school and on the job because of the opportunities offered through the Wisconsin Restaurant Association."

- Trude Mihalovich, South Milwaukee High School.
