The importance of education in today’s technology and Internet driven society is immeasurable, and the need for a strong educational foundation can not be over emphasize. Today’s children are growing up in a society that demands excellence in everything, However, not all children receive the structure they need; that’s why its extremely gratifying to know that there are volunteers and mentors such as Alex Crisses as well as others who believe that the overall development of a child is crucial and education is key; and through their generous efforts, programs such as Mind Matters are made possible to help students achieve academic excellence.
Others with the same mind-set as Alex Crisses know that when it comes to children, they shouldn’t have to, nor can they afford to miss out on a window of opportunity that a good education program can provide. One of the most important advantages of a good educational program is that it widens a child’s area of interest, it allows them to be introduced to new interesting and challenging things, it increases the chances for a child to reach their full potential; which is one of the main reasons that Alex Crisses continues to support educating our youth.
The generosity of Alex Crisses doesn’t just stop there; as one of Insight Venture Partners shining VPs who when not focusing his efforts on infrastructure software and internet investments Alex is concentrating on giving back to the community through several other care-giving efforts – He is a supporter of the Make a Wish Foundation and the Sergeants Benevolent Association. In addition, as Event Chair for the New York City Police Foundation he is instrumental in raising funds for the New York Police Department. Apparently generosity is a natural attribute for Alex, he continues to make it his number one priority, and when it comes to the betterment of today’s youth, so should we all.
