NBC5 on Surprise Unveiling at Metro for girls

Unilever and Walgreens Partnership for Tomorrow's Leaders work together to revamp Metro Achievement Center, revealing a new Activity and Life Skills Center for its girls.

The joint community effort is tied to Unilever's National Customer Development (CD) Leadership Team's semi-annual meeting held in Chicago on October 28, 2010. As part of the group's regular gatherings, the 70 Unilever leaders seek out a key community project to address in the local area. In lieu of recreational outings, the team opted to roll up their sleeves, partnering with 8 executives at Deerfield, Ill.-based Walgreens and give back to the community.

Enhancements to the center will include inspirational pictures depicting young women at the height of achievement; a fully equipped kitchen skills learning area; a flat panel large screen TV monitor with PA sound system; 5,000 square feet of new padded wood laminate studio flooring, new enhanced lighting, and a variety of life skills and exercise equipment. The refurbished space will host life skill lessons, like cooking and personal hygiene, exercise and dance classes.
