Nothing beats kicking off the week by resuming our Beyond School Walls program and welcoming new mentor matches! 🎉

Students were inspired by a warm welcome from the Fernandina Beach Police Department, followed by an engaging presentation from Career Source. The energy continued as participants from the Fernandina Beach Police Department, Fernandina Beach Fire Department, and Fernandina Beach High School faced off in the World's Largest Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship Battle! 👮🚒✂️📄🪨

Beyond School Walls connects students with workplace mentors, helping them build career awareness, confidence, communication skills, and meaningful relationships with professionals in the community. For businesses and organizations, the program provides an opportunity to invest in the future workforce, strengthen community connections, and make a lasting impact on local youth.

We're excited to see these new mentoring relationships grow throughout the year!
