Fresh Ministries
In partnership with FreshMinistries, the Shad Khan and Harry
Frisch Scholarship and Internship Program, provides life-changing
internships for high school and college students.
FreshMinistries’ youth program is a year-long program, providing
high school students training and cultural outings to promote
financial literacy, job readiness, academic success, health and
wellness, family involvement, and leadership and character development. Students meet two Saturdays a month during the school
year, and the program culminates with a summer internship experience for qualifying students. These internships are often the first
jobs these youth have ever had. The pride on their faces shows
when they receive their first paychecks. More than 40 internships
are offered through the Shad Khan and Harry Frisch Program.
Junior Achievement
One project that Shad and Harry both support is Junior
Achievement. Junior achievement is a program that
embodies everything it means to be an American. It
allows children to dream big and develop the skills necessary to experience the realities and opportunities of
work and entrepreneurship in the 21st century. Junior
Achievement impacts over 52,000 students each school
year in helping them to work towards economic success.

“This is a critical time in the lives of these young people,” said
The Rev. Dr. Robert V. Lee III, founder and CEO of FreshMinistries.
“Without the funds that Mr. Khan and Mr. Frisch are providing,
these students would likely be idle all summer. Having positive
opportunities for employment during the summer is making a
crucial difference for them, their families and their community.”
Also, through the Shad Khan and Harry Frisch Scholarship and
Internship Program, a number of college students have been
supported at internships to help them develop the skills they have
learned in school in the workplace; including the IT Department at
Baptist Health, the Athletic Department at Jacksonville University
and the Parks and Recreat
