Back to School: Taylor Porter Donates Supplies to Cristo Rey High School

August 20, 2018

The Taylor Porter Diversity Committee selected Cristo Rey Baton Rouge Franciscan High School for its Fall 2018 Community Outreach and Service Project through the Firm’s BUILD (Building Unity, Inclusion, & Legal Diversity) program. On Friday, August 17, our Firm's attorneys and staff delivered school supplies to students in preparation for the beginning of the school year.​ Representatives from the firm presented students with binders, highlighters, notebooks, paper, pens, and pencils.

Taylor Porter is one of Cristo Rey Baton Rouge’s first Corporate Work Study Partners, a programmatic component of the school where students are employed to work part-time for local businesses. Taylor Porter Managing Partner Skip Philips serves on the Cristo Rey Board, and also chairs the Corporate Work Study Program Board. Taylor Porter is a proud corporate partner of the Cristo Rey Baton Rouge Franciscan High School work study program.

Founded in 2016, Cristo Rey Baton Rouge Franciscan High is a private, Catholic school dedicated to educating young people to become men and women of faith, purpose and service. The school belongs to a national network of unique schools whose focus is preparing students for college acceptance, successful careers and inspiring them to drive change in their communities by operating as both a school and an employment agency.

Through the BUILD program, Taylor Porter provides assistance to several diverse community and nonprofits year-round, thereby affecting diverse segments of the community in a most positive and rewarding way.
In 2017, Taylor Porter’s Diversity Committee launched a firm-wide BUILD (Building Unity, Inclusion, & Legal Diversity) Community Outreach Program. The program was implemented by the Taylor Porter Diversity Committee and designed to further bridge and support the Firm’s diversity efforts, combined with its more than 106 years of traditional community outreach and volunteer work. ​Whether serving on the boards of directors of nonprofit organizations or making contributions to worthwhile causes, Taylor Porter’s attorneys and staff are actively involved in the community.
