A group of 25 Washington State University Human Development students worked with the Northport Youth Mentoring Horizons group to develop a life skills curriculum that can be used in an high school elective course. The curriculum includes information on applying to post secondary education, writing resumes, financial aid, and more. They also did some fundraising and donated $400 to the school. The money can be used to buy materials to supplement the curriculum.
The school is planning to integrate the curriculum into a leadership course this fall.
Northport is moving from waiting to changing, from talking to training, from training to leading.
Improving Leadership aimed at reducing Poverty in rural communities.
