Since 2014, Poettker and its business partners have raised $340,000 from its annual golf classic for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwestern Illinois. Proceeds are used to support BBBS’s mission to help children realize their potential and build their futures through strong and enduring one-on-one mentoring relationships.

The CEO program is much more than a textbook course. Rather, students are immersed in real life learning experiences with the opportunity to take risks, manage the results, and learn from the outcomes.

Poettker is a proud sponsor of Clinton County CEO and hosts the students of the program at its headquarters for part of the school year. Members of Poettker Construction’s leadership team serve on the boards of CEO programs, as well as mentor local students.

As a proud Community Partner of Community Link, Poettker Construction supports the nonprofit year-round with their efforts to provide work, educational and recreational opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. From participating in the nonprofit’s Buddy Walk to donating toys at Christmas, Poettker Construction contributes to Community Link’s goal of building a community where everyone is valued for their presence and contributions.

As a partner in education, we love to connect students and teachers with the construction of their facilities and unlock interactive opportunities for students to build their futures while advancing communities.

At Poettker, our team collaborates with staff and faculty to inspire and promote positive character-building in the next generation — from early education through high school and beyond.
