Often compared to an executive coaching session, this workshop leverages the talents of Peggy Klaus, communications guru and author, as she leads all participants in strategies and techniques for communicating your worth. Volunteers are paired with high school juniors who are preparing for college interviews. At the end of the workshop, you will be more than a little impressed with yourself and the students.

TYWLS Tech Explorers July 2018 (3 Weeks) Host the next generation of entrepreneurs and coders for a visit at your workplace! This intensive three-week program challenges students to conceive, develop, code, and pitch real web applications that address issues and needs in their communities. We ask hosts to provide working space (and Wi-Fi) for thirty students, as well as a networking lunch for students and volunteers to talk college and careers. For most of the day, students work independently on their curriculum, but we love hosts with relevant expertise who want to send mentors or present mini-workshops!
