Another successful Summer Rise program

Another successful Summer Rise program

What an amazing day participating in “mock interviews” with students at the 2022 Citrus Summer Rise Program listing to students’ stories and providing them insight on how best to promote themselves.

Nearly 100 rising seniors participated in the program this year in Citrus County. The program helps provide students with the necessary tools to be more effective as they plan and develop their post-high school opportunities. This is one of the only programs like this in Florida.

Students learn about College and career options, scholarship opportunities, how to apply for college and complete applications, speak with college students from Citrus about college cultures,  how to apply for financial assistance, learn about Job applications and interviewing skills, and Workplace preparation.

I have been honored to be a part of the planning team for these events which are now in their fourth year.

We could not do this Summer Rise program without our strategic community partners. Thank you:
