Self-Advocacy for Beginners
Helping our teens prep for interviews and the stressful transition into college life gives them a sound platform for their future independence. During college tours and future internships, their appearance, attitude and manners will be the first impression they make so why not make it the best? Good communication and listening skills give the students confidence as they learn to advocate for themselves in the lecture halls and on campus. ​
DINING SMARTS 101
Our lives are so busy that we often have little or no time to sit at the table and enjoy a meal together, we eat on the move, ordering take-out foods as we shuttle between activities, sports, and home. When you understand your place setting, know which cutlery to use for each course, and how to tackle difficult foods will prepare you for any dining situation! We teach the American style of dining, one of the five main dining styles but we will share tips on the subtle differences between American and European dining should you have the opportunity to travel abroad. This is a hands-on tutorial, so take your seat for a delicious meal and learn what to do and what not to do at the table.
