Career Connections classes start at Crosswalk Teen Center

Posted by Crosswalk Teen Center | The County Journal | Charlotte, MI

Crosswalk Career Connections’ first day of class started Wednesday, January 8, there was a bustle of excited faces, ready to learn about career options. This course is being led by Ms. Molly Wilson, longtime mentor at Crosswalk. Twelve teens crowded into the classroom to share pizza, receive folders full of career information, and learn from Ms. Molly about what the course will entail. A majority of the teens were girls, excited to hear from successful women leaders from various careers. Crosswalk Career Connections has been able to schedule 20 women leaders to speak about career options for young women.
