Eagle River Area Rotary Happenings!
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Choices is Coming ~Helping Youth Stay in School
 
  • Do you want to make a difference for our youth and help them understand the value of staying in school?
  • Would you commit to two hours once or twice a year to make this happen?
  • Would you do it if you knew that it was fun for all involved?
 
Our Club is a participant in a nation-wide program called CHOICES. CHOICES is an interactive decision-making workshop that empowers middle school teens to achieve academic success in pursuit of their career and life aspirations. In two hour-long sessions, business and community volunteers take students through real-world exercises on academic self-discipline, time and money management, and goal setting. It’s fun… It’s real!
Students get it. Communities want it.
CHOICES keeps teens "into" school
Our next sessions will be in the spring. Please email Linda Landers @ clanders@alaska.net or call 694-9098 to make arrangements on training.  We need you… please join us!
