Partners in Education links business with schools across Baytown
ExxonMobil Baytown and Community Resource Credit Union lead volunteer efforts under the Partners in Education program begun in 1987. The initiative pairs firms with local schools to fund programs, supply volunteers, mentor students, and promote STEM. Volunteers visit, mentor, and support lunch programs, watch dog activities, and junior achievement while grants via company foundations support these efforts.
