Fathom Wins the 2018 Nashville Junior Chamber's Pitch Nashville Competition
Fathom was awarded the first prize at the 2018 Nashville Junior Chamber (NJC) Pitch Nashville competition held at The Bridge Building on November 8. Founder and CEO, JoAdel Adeola, presented Fathom's Change Agents curriculum—a 21st Century project-based career development tool.
The innovative curriculum inspires young adults to identify their passions, talents, and crucial problems they wish to address.

In recognition of their groundbreaking proposal, Fathom was awarded the $2,500 pitch prize.
