Malcolm Fox became involved with Chicago Scholars during his junior year of high school. Through support from the organization, he graduated from Howard University in 2021, and secured his “dream job” as an operations associate at the McDonald’s Corporation. “I am a person who is heavily involved in the community, so joining a company that not only supports that but has similar goals to consistently make our world a better place is extremely exciting,” Fox shared.
According to Fleming, “Chicago Scholars helped Malcolm get his foot in the door [for the McDonald’s position], but it was his hard work and drive that ultimately led him to launch his career.” Even though Fox has moved to Denver for his career, he is still active in the Chicago community. In the fall of 2021, for example, he raised $20,000 for the new STEM program at Chicago public school — Wendell Phillips Academy High School. Participation in Chicago Scholars has lead to a life of learning, giving, and success for Fox as well as thousands of other young people.
