Real careers. Real stories. Yesterday, travel nurse Pavielle Burton shared her journey with our Life & Workforce group, showing teens what it takes to adapt, lead, and make an impact nationwide. This is how futures take shape. 💙 #GreatFuturesStartHere #WorkforceReady

Sunrise > screens. This morning in Sturgis, kids in our before-school program stepped outside with Ms. Kim to watch the day begin. Quiet. Curious. Connected. Sometimes the best way to start strong is to pause. 🌅 #MorningMoments #StartStrong #BrightFutures

Just a reminder of Teen Center special hours over the next few weeks.
