School Champions meet to discuss recruitment tactics. |
At this year’s School Champion Kick-Off Event, we asked our
champions why they chose to promote Genesys Works at their school and how their
students benefited from participating.
Many talked about the career development skills, life experience and
confidence that students gain during summer training and their
internships. Sara Linde, Guidance
Counselor from Richfield High School (RHS), went on to share her appreciation for the
commitment that Genesys Works has shown to RHS students throughout the years;
specifically through the “consistency, stability and growth the staff of Genesys Work
have shown to our students through the opportunities they provide. Financially these students are seeing an
obvious benefit, but more importantly, I have seen growth in students’
confidence and sense of responsibility.”
Others talked about the improved image of high school
students and urban schools that Genesys Works young professionals create in the
community and the pride that students have for the program.
For Shirley Poelstra, Career Experience Coordinator from Edison High School, Genesys Works “gives Edison the opportunity to showcase their students and helps businesses get a chance to meet and work with our students and break down stereotypes of the school that exist.”

Genesys Work is grateful for all of our champions in the
schools and the hard work they put into raising awareness for our program and
giving students the extra push they need to apply. If you know a current high school junior who
could benefit from Genesys Works, encourage them to apply online at www.genesysworks.org/twincities. The application deadline is March 13.
