Hi, Matt. 

 

I don't know what age range of teenagers you are thinking of, but the
FunWorks is a great one for young teens (grades 6 through 9). The site
focuses on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers,
and there are lots of activities and games. Many young people in the
Boston area contributed to its design, also. You can find it here:

hi there

 

I'm going to the ymca leaders school in august (a retreat center in
silver bay, NY)...and will be doing a career development workshop with
teens.

ARe there any career development resources you have found helpful in
your work with teens? (web sites/books?) how would you approach tthis?

I know I could just present the info..but I would rather teens actually
have some fun with this.

any thoughts appreciated!

 

thanks.

matt

"Know that the love which blooms inside you is stronger than fear,|| for
people who love find strength they didn't know they had.|| Know that the
love inside you is stronger than illness,|| for people who love hang in
when physical health is gone.|| And know that love is indeed stronger
than death,|| for people who love are like stones tossed into a pool.||
The circles of love radiate out and echo back|| long after the stone has
come to rest on the bottom."|| Rev. mark DeWolfe
