The LYNN YOUTH COUNCIL reported at the last LSC meeting. Everybody celebrates giving our youth a voice. (I know I have some mouthy kids, I don't know where they get it from because everybody knows how shy I am).
OKAY.
We let them speak, so it's time now to listen.
THEY WANT SKILLS, job hunting skills. Because you know what? The majority aren't going on to college and even if they do chances are GREAT that they will need to get a job to help pay for it.
ON TOP OF THAT!
Thirty percent aren't even graduating high school so it would seem to me teaching them to write a resume would be a good thing. Maybe they would learn dropping out doesn't look so good on paper.
