Future Leaders
The Karman Fund supports programs and initiatives that help Pontiac students and residents pursue education, career pathways, and long-term success. By investing in opportunity and growth, the fund helps build a stronger future for individuals and the community.
Karman Fund
Karman is an initiative dedicated to guiding Pontiac high school seniors and alumni through personalized career pathways that will help them stay on track as they pursue careers and higher education after graduation. The name, Karman, refers to the Karman Line used by scientists to distinguish where the earth’s atmosphere ends and outer space begins.
Karman is committed to providing a bridge for students between the life they have known and the dreams and goals that wait for them beyond what they can see.
Pontiac Community Foundation has recognized Karman’s founder, Josh Kozlowski, as the right leader to partner with in order to serve at-risk students who trust his already established mentorship role in their lives. Because Karman operates in cooperation with the school district, the program is unique in its rapport with students. Josh has built relationships and credibility with students and their families over the past 10+ years of teaching upperclassmen in the Pontiac School District, which makes him invaluable to the success of connecting students directly in the classroom into a program such as this.
