Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime. Seattle Jobs Initiative definitely teaches their men and women to fish for a lifetime. Seattle Jobs Initiative helps minimum wage workers find higher education so they can find jobs that pay between $15-$25 an hour. They team up with employers, with Community Colleges, and business leaders in the community to teach their students exactly what they need to know, both hard skills and soft.
By 2018, it is predicted that 67% of jobs here in Washington State will require education beyond high school. Seattle Jobs Initiative is helping prepare their students for this rise in requirement, and hopes to set their students up to pursue education beyond Community College. They have found that their students really want to be there and have a rekindled love of learning. They really want to be successful and to be able to provide for their loved ones.

Who’s got crazy stories about fliers, a desk, and a Scot on
a Vespa? Denise Paulette does, that’s who! Denise performs a one woman show
about Zelda Fitzgerald and just got back from the Fringe Festival in Scotland.
Talk about a strong, independent woman; Denise fundraised her way to the Fringe
and had a life changing experience abroad.
Denise had a rare opportunity to go and live her passion for
three weeks straight. On our show this week, she talked about her three weeks,
and what it was like to live and breathe acting and the stage. Hear her stories
about a wacky taxi driver, and some of the unique theatre spaces that were
offered during the Fringe. We would love to share more with you, but we don’t
want to spoil the fun! You’re just going to have to listen to Denise on this
week’s show!

Walk Talk Kim Compass Outdoor Mentorship Luke Talbott

How does your child do in school? Do they have a tough time
meshing with the public school system? Do they go above and beyond, and find
themselves bored with the curriculum? Walk the Talk with Kim talks about adults
finding their passions and changing the world, but how about kids? Compass
Outdoor Adventure is excited to announce a brand new after school mentorship
program for kids that just aren’t getting what they need out of their schools.
Luke and his passionate team will work with their groups of
12 on a once weekly basis. Did I mention there’s a fun field trip involved too?
Mentors will work to discover each child’s passion and help align group field
trips around these passions or “elements”. Does your child LOVE Xbox? How about
a trip to Microsoft? What about bike riding? Let’s go to a bike shop!
Through acknowledging each child’s element, mentors will
help apply their passions to education. Compass wants everyone coming through
this program to become intrinsically curious and motivated when it comes to
their education! Want to find out more or register your child? Details and
registration will be available on the Compass website soon! www.compassoutdoor.org You may contact Luke at luke@compassoutdoor.org if you have
questions!
