The 21st Century Leaders Club of Sandy

Creek recently had a celebration of a

statewide "Week of Service" with the

clubs of about 20 other high schools. All applied for and received

$500 grants to use for projects in their schools. Students designed

ways to encourage other teens to develop interest in

careers. Through the Georgia Business Forum all students have access

to business professionals and mentors in a variety of careers.

The SCHS group planned a teacher mini-grant contest

and invited teachers to submit creative ideas for

increasing student awareness and interest in investigating careers.

Each winning a $100 grant were Ms. Snider, Ms. Moore, Ms.

Kearney, Ms McDaniel and Ms. Palma.

Another group project is the Connecteen Web

Page , which teens can use to browse through the career files of mentors from

a wide range of occupations. The teens can e-mail the adults, set

up days to visit and possibly find part-time jobs or

volunteer positions in fields of interest. The group is still seeking mentors

for the site. A form is available on the webpage, www.connecteen.org.
