15-year-old Ethan (far left) spent his summer building confidence and gaining invaluable skills through The Child Center's Summer Youth Employment Program. His days consisted of challenges to solve, people to greet, and a never-ending stream of important work to be done—and Ethan wouldn’t have had it any other way! SYEP is not just about employment; it's about providing opportunities, building skills, and empowering youth to dream big. 🌟 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eNm-vGM4

What's a good school, in your opinion? Here's our take. A place where learning closely meets individual values; A warm community where we forgive and repair relationships if broken; A place where any mistake is just a new lesson added to a long string of experiences; A place where only time travel is impossible - at least until we find out it isn't; A place where diversity doesn't divide us but unites us; A place where each of us can be unique, where we are all authentic in being different; A place where we learn not only formulas or facts but many interesting things about the world around us and how we can live a happy and fulfilling life. In the following days, we will take you on a virtual journey and show you what a day in the life of a student at Transylvania College looks like. Until then, what makes a good school for your children? 😊

Please take a few minutes and read this blog post that highlights why summer programs are important for ALL young people.
