In high school, especially programs involved in JA, students learn a variety of fundamental business and economic concepts, explore career interests and opportunities, and develop work-readiness skills.
Throughout the TCYP L.I.F.E. Mentoring program, TCYP volunteers will serve as role models and give students the opportunity to network with and learn from young professionals in the local community. Through a variety of short presentations and experiential activities, students can better connect what they learn in school with the L.I.F.E. program topics, practice skills and gain knowledge in real-time.
