Volunteers Needed for Shadowing Day on Thursday, November
20
Philadelphia area businesses and organizations will
welcome ninth grade students from the Philadelphia School District
into their workplaces to give them firsthand exposure to the everyday
working world. Shadowing is an experience during which students
are paired with employee mentors for a day (9 a.m.-2 p.m.) to learn
about particular careers. Join other members of the Penn community
as they host ninth graders from the Philadelphia School District.
Don't miss this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of
students. Contact Isabel Mapp at sammapp@pobox.upenn.edu.
