Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC has been working on supplemental curriculum for students– Skills for Success. They have put together a series of webinars hosted on the Learning Management System as an easily accessible way for students to learn information about job interviews, resumes, financial literacy, and time management. Each topic has a video training hosted by a BBBS staff member and requires students to take a quick pre/post-test. They would love to see this utilized by your staff and distributed to your students. This is a great year-end activity, as well as a great summer school activity for students. Note: these services are linked to a city-grant that BBBS of NYC receives funding from, so it would be helpful for them to track how many schools and students within those schools are utilizing their programming. Therefore, if you share this with your students, please send this quick template to rmarks@bigsnyc.org for their records. (Thanks for letting us know about this opportunity, Sharon!)
