17 NATIONAL NETWORK, NATIONAL IMPACT
Since the launch of Genesys Works in 2002, the spirit and tenacity of the individuals in our
community continue to amaze and inspire me. Every one of our supporters, team members,
and the very students we serve plays a unique role in our ability to change the trajectory of life
for youth and that is why the theme for the 2014 Annual Report is the power of one.
A few years ago, I struck up a conversation with a young, hard-working shoe shiner at a Houstonbased airport. He was making ends meet but had dreams of becoming a financial advisor and was
in fact, pursuing a degree in finance at the University of Houston. His path was made clear with
the help of a school friend, Jose. As fate would have it, at that time, Jose was going through the
Genesys Works training and internship program. During his senior year as a Genesys Works Young
Professional, Jose shared his opportunity, experiences, and new found knowledge about college
and careers with classmates and peers. Unbeknownst to me and our team, Jose was indeed
invoking his power of one, “paying it forward” if you will, encouraging others to follow
him to college, and to a professional career.
We recently followed up with Jose and learned that he succeeded in finishing his college degree
and is now a full-time employee at the company where he interned while at Genesys Works
(story, page 4). The industrious shoe shiner also graduated from college and has begun a
career in Finance.
RAFAEL ALVAREZ
FOUNDER AND CEO
As you will read in the pages that follow, 2014 was a record year for Genesys Works thanks to
everyone’s tremendous support. With your help, we achieved and exceeded the goals we set.
As we map out increasingly ambitious goals for the years to come, we are ever mindful of how
significant you are to our work, our mission, and our community.
We are proud to dedicate this Annual Report to the memory of Mrs. Gladys “GJ” Jensen, who
used her “power” to change the lives of tens of thousands of young people across our nation.
Thank you for all your encouragement and support.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT
We think of a handshake as a beginning, as the start of a new relationship or venture. We forget
that it is also the culmination of a journey. By the time we shake hands with colleagues and
supervisors on a first day of work, we have already acquired skills, experience, and networks
that opened the doors to opportunity.
For too many of our nation’s youth, that handshake never materializes. High school graduates
launch into the workforce with minimal guidance, few skills, and no network. For example, the
Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development discovered that for hard-to-fill
jobs requiring no more than a high school education, 57% went unfilled because job candidates
lacked the skills to be competitive. Simply put, young adults leave high school without the
preparation needed to succeed in the workforce.
We want every student to show up for the first day of work with the skills and knowledge needed
to capitalize on a valuable opportunity. By the time students complete the Genesys Works summer
training and meet new supervisors, they have each invested 150 unpaid hours of their summer
vacation, giving public speeches, learning basic desktop support, running VLookup’s in Excel, and
yes, practicing handshakes. Genesys Works interns are not only prepared for internships, they are
better prepared for working life.

internships
Esmeralda was so shy
at the start of summer
training, her coordinator
had to coach her to
participate in group
cheers. Determined
to break through, she
began raising her hand
in discussions, learning
to speak up “without
worrying I was doing
horrible at something
that seemed so simple.”
She is still shy, but her
growing self-assurance
has turned her into one
of the strongest interns
at Target, where she
takes calls from internal
customers. This newfound
confidence also motivated
her to change her plans
and apply to four-year
colleges.

Young people of all socio-economic levels struggle with getting that first job, the job from
which they will build a career. However, unlike their more affluent counterparts, youth from
low-income communities grow up doubting that they can even enter into the professional world,
let alone succeed in it. Oftentimes, they lack access to the people who can connect them to
real opportunities and who can give them their “first big break.” At an early age, Jose was faced
with many personal challenges and knew he wanted a better life for himself. After learning about
Genesys Works, he applied, was accepted, and after eight intense weeks of training Jose earned
the right to be placed in an information technology internship. As part of his training, he went on a
mock interview. He was placed at Reliant, an NRG Company, and, by coincidence, was assigned to
report to the same person who conducted the interview.
Jose, the oldest of four
children, was aware that
he was considered a role
model by his younger
siblings. What he didn’t
realize was the potential
he had to empower his
peers. Little did Jose
know that his “power
of one” would have
such a profound impact
on others as it did with
the young shoe shiner
turned college graduate,
now finance professional,
described in the CEO
message on page 1.
A couple of weeks after Jose began his internship, his supervisor called Genesys Works
confessing that onboarding a quiet 17-year old with no real work experience seemed risky.
Jose’s mild-mannered demeanor had not allowed his confidence or potential to come across
during their initial meeting. Yet, the supervisor boasted that Jose was excelling at the job and was
one of the best workers he had ever had. Jose did very well during his internship, learned that he
could succeed in the corporate world, and it wasn’t long before he set his sights on pursuing a
college education. With his bachelor’s degree in hand he returned to NRG and today, works as a
full-time professional. All Jose needed was an opportunity.

She believes in me and
encourages me every day
to be the best I can be. I
am the first in my family
ever to attend college

In the last three years, AT&T has invested significant resources toward the launch of the Genesys
Works – Bay Area site, the replication of best practices organization wide, and direct support of its
core internship program. AT&T has found that the Genesys Works model helps students unlock their
professional potential, producing positive outcomes for students, businesses, and the community.
As part of the collaboration, AT&T hosts student interns during their Genesys Works experience,
which has provided benefits for employees and the company as a whole. Within three years, AT&T
has hosted 21 students in meaningful workplace internships from Chicago to Houston.
AT&T’s investment has had an indelible impact on each high school student who participates in our
program and prepares for a brighter, more promising future. Together, AT&T and Genesys Works will
continue to help keep students on track to graduate and prepare them for successful futures in a
competitive marketplace.

THE POWER OF
PHILANTHROPIST
GLADYS
“GJ” JENSEN
Gladys “GJ” Jensen
passed away on
Thanksgiving Day, 2014,
surrounded by her loving
family. We are honored
to feature her legacy and
life’s work, which will live
on for many years, as her
devotion to those less
fortunate has changed
the lives of countless
people throughout the
United States.
Gladys “GJ” Jensen grew up on a farm in rural Nebraska during the Great Depression. Consequently,
she learned first-hand the effects of poverty and the difference an opportunity and education can
make in a young person’s life. During these formative years, GJ gained a strong sense of family values,
which came in handy as she and her husband, Ron “RJ” Jensen, raised five children, enjoyed five
grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren during their lifetime. GJ never forgot her humble roots and
the character and empathy she developed as a result. She carried these core values and philosophies
into her philanthropy when she and RJ started their family foundation, The Jenesis Group, in 1987.
Through their vision, the couple made catalytic investments in many social enterprises focused on
improving the education and workforce opportunities for low-income young people across the U.S.
Not more than two decades ago, the term “social entrepreneurship” was familiar only to a relatively small
cadre of business and philanthropic leaders. In fact, Ashoka, a leader in the international field of social
entrepreneurship, was not yet doing business in North America. Recognized as an early and pioneering
force in the nation’s social entrepreneurial movement, RJ, GJ, and the Jensen family were visionary
partners and founding investors in Ashoka’s North America launch. The Jensens embody what it is to
be a “philanthropreneur.” They believed in the power of social entrepreneurs as the “change agents”
who can have the greatest impact on our country’s most entrenched social issues. The family continues
to invest their time and resources supporting several of the country’s leading social entrepreneurs.
The Jensens first learned about Genesys Works in 2009 through their association with Ashoka
North America. Our mission, students, and business model were compelling and aligned with their
philanthropic endeavors. This led them to make a significant investment which galvanized our evolution
from a fledgling Houston-centric startup to a leading national organization. Jenesis Group has continued
to invest in our work during the last six years and in 2014, expanded their support with the single
largest grant in our history: a $3.5 million investment to establish the infrastructure, systems, and people
needed to accelerate our growth and go from serving 1,250 students a year to thousands more.

PAYCHECK
From the moment he
earned an internship,
Ezrelle had plans for his
first paycheck: he wanted
to buy his grandmother
a stove. When his family
hit on hard times, his
grandma welcomed
them into her home.
Now he had a way to
thank her. “She is so
generous, wise, and
loving,” he said. “If it
wasn’t for her, I would
not try my best.” Fittingly,
his dream is to one day
become a philanthropist.
“I want to be there for
people who are going
through what I have
been through.”
