 Need ideas for families on how they can keep their high school student learning all summer, while helping them find a job and getting them thinking about college?
Check out just a few of these great tips from NSLA CEO Sarah Pitcock on the U.S. Department of Education's HomeRoom blog:
- Have your teen identify a career of interest, and research it together online or at your local library.
- Seek opportunities for him or her to connect with a professional mentor, either online or in your community.
- Encourage them to volunteer. Volunteer positions can provide valuable experience in job skills such as planning, communication, and collaboration.
- Plan a summer vacation, and ask your teen to take an active role in the planning. Research and budgeting are valuable skills.
