OPPORTUNITY MATTERS
Being young can be challenging. You are dealing with school, sports, clubs, and maybe a job too. Maybe your friends, family, or classmates are causing drama that pulls you in. Opportunity Matters aims to teach you skills that will make you a stronger person and more prepared to deal with your current challenges and with what comes next in life. Through a series of interactive discussions with adults in the community, Opportunity Matters has covered topics like courage, confidence, and integrity. We’ve gone over important life lessons like financial accountability and self-improvement. We’ve hosted a panel of student athletes who shared what their athletic experience has been like at the college level and had a business owner come in to talk about what starting a business is really like and what kind of challenges were faced and overcome.
If you are between the age of 11 and 17, if these topics sound interesting, and if you are ready to better yourself for today and for tomorrow, please join us at these free Opportunity Matters workshops. The schedule of upcoming workshops, along with videos of previous workshops, can be found below. We look forward to seeing you and helping you create the change!
