Canton Rotary has a long history of working with Junior Achievement to bring lessons on Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship, and Work Readiness to students in our area, particularly Canton City Schools.
This fits in perfectly with Rotary's Vocational pillar, sharing insight into one's career experiences. It also fits with our club's mission of helping our local youth.
Here's an opportunity for us to help out JA:
- When: Tuesday May 10th
- Where: Kent State - Stark Branch
- What: Lessons and mentoring on Resumes, Applications, Interviewing, Dressing for Success, and discussions on careers, work, etc.
- To Whom: 150 McKinley High School Juniors
- Commitment: 9 AM to 1 PM (if you can't make the whole time, slots will be open to have a working lunch with a small group of 7 - 8 students for personal discussions, two mentors per table, approximately one hour commitment minimum.
At this point, I believe JA could use as many volunteers as possible, to make it easier for each mentor.
JA will provide basically all materials needed, plus training. You just need to provide your time and your personal experience from your professional career.
There will be folks there from:
Citizen’s Bank- Melissa Herdon, Heather Sullivan, Ta’Shea Johnson
Great Work Employment- Cody and Angelina (Rae-lin email)
Goodwill: Emma Walsh and Cynthia Goodall
Shearer’s: Kim Davenport
SCHRA: TBD- Brenda Basso
HP Products- Abby Keleman, Lauren Higgins
SMART- Jerry Duriex
Other: Katie Tolin, Kevin Villancourt
