The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce's Success School hosted a High School Employment Fair at Bloomington High School North (BHSN) on March 24th, 2026. There were 20-25 local organizations from all sectors that offered opportunities for current high school students. At the Fair, organizations were able to interact with high school students about the career opportunities open to them now or in the future. See photos from the event below! As a part of the Chamber's Foundation, The Success School acts as the connection between the business and the education communities. We serve students by introducing them to many different potential career options, providing them with opportunities to interact with professionals in different fields and helping them understand that graduating from high school is crucial for future success. We also serve the business community by offering meaningful volunteer opportunities for business professionals in our career learning programs which provide workforce development services for youth.
On Friday, March 13th, 2026, The Success School, the Chamber's Foundation, held it's Reality Store® at Batchelor Middle School. The Reality Store® is a simulation that helps junior high students appreciate the ‘realities’ of life and achieve a better understanding of personal finance. In the Reality Store® simulation, junior high students pretend they are a 28-year-old starting out in their life and career. Each school year, this program is held at four local middle schools, where close to 1000 students participate. Over 150 community members volunteered to run the tables at these events this year. Volunteering for a Reality Store® is a fun way to interact with students and teach them important lessons. See the photos from the event below!

 In the heart of Danielle Willis’s work is a straightforward but powerful mission: helping people feel supported at some of the most important stages of life. As a Bloomington entrepreneur and community leader, Danielle has built two organizations that reflect that calling. As the owner of Dynasty Haven, a home care agency helping seniors and individuals who need help with daily living. At the same time, she leads Strut to Success, a nonprofit mentorship program designed to help young women build confidence, leadership skills, and a clear sense of identity as they move through adolescence.
Danielle founded Dynasty Haven out of a deeply rooted belief that older adults deserve care that honors not only their humanity, but their life experiences as well. The agency provides caregiving services that allow seniors to remain comfortable and supported while maintaining as much independence as possible. Danielle believes her work goes beyond healthcare; it’s about relationships, respect, and recognizing value through every stage of life. She often speaks about the wisdom that older generations bring and specifically highlights the importance of ensuring they feel seen, heard, and cared for in meaningful ways.
