Today's Mentor Team Spotlight is Fidelity Investments! For Fidelity's October visit (and first session of the school year), mentors visited their 5th grade class at John G. Carlisle Elementary School and spent time getting to know their students for the school year. In small groups, mentors and students chatted about themselves, what Fidelity is, what they do, and learned about the students and their interests. Afterward, the class came together and played a "Guess That Job" game. Picture clues were shown on the screen, and students had the chance to guess the job by combining the images (e.g., a picture of a bus + a picture of a screwdriver = bus driver). The students had a blast guessing the jobs and learning about them from their mentors. Thank you, Fidelity, for inspiring our students to dream big-- all while sparking interest in the many career pathways out there We appreciate you! 🫶

We 🧡 The Shepherd Chemical Company and are so excited to have them back for Year 2 with us and Ms. Ostendorf's 5th grade class at Sharpsburg Elementary School! We look forward to seeing everything they will accomplish this school year!

Happy Friday! Today's Mentor Team Spotlight is Huseman Group! For their first visit with the 7th graders at Shroder Middle School, mentors and students focused on Life Skills. The visit began with a "Get to Know You" activity centered around setting personal and professional goals, as well as recognizing dreams and aspirations. Then, with the help of the Huseman Group mentors, students had the opportunity to create their own vision boards! Using photos and text from magazines for inspiration, students included things such as their dream job, hobbies, personality traits, and characteristics on their vision boards. We cannot thank Huseman Group enough for their support of our program and encouraging our students to dream big! 🚀

We are so excited to kick off our Mentor Team Spotlights for the 2024-2025 school year! Today, we would like to spotlight Cincinnati Children's introductory visit at a new school we launched this year— School For Creative & Performing Arts Cincinnati! For their October visit, mentors and their 4th-grade students spent some time getting to know each other. Mentors discussed the different tasks and responsibilities that team members have at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and then asked students to share what they would do if they worked at Children's. Afterward, they hosted stations with small groups where the mentors went more in-depth on the wide variety of jobs needed to keep daily operations running. Thank you, Cincinnati Children's, for a fantastic first visit and for sharing the many medical careers that are out there. You are inspiring today's students to become tomorrow's healthcare workers! 🩺🩻🫀
