Junior Enrichment and Leadership Opportunities
Enrichment and Leadership programs build on student strengths and skills in leadership, communication, problem solving, character, community involvement, and academic rigor. Involvement in such programs may enhance students’ college and scholarship applications. Programs are often seeking to improve the diversity of their participants. The programs, in-state and out-of-state, have varying deadlines and vary in cost (many at no cost).

Resume Information
Creating a resume is helpful in showcasing a student's skills, accomplishments, and activities to any organization such as employers, service agencies, and colleges/universities. Also, a resume can assist teachers, counselors, employers, and community leaders in writing a recommendation for college and/or scholarship applications when requested. Finally, creating a resume enables the student to become more aware of their level of involvement and to assess what areas need to be strengthened during high school in preparation for post HS pursuits. A resume enables the student to keep an ongoing record throughout high school.
