From Liz Maki, Director of Career Pathways

“JumpStart U 9th grade camp is a part of the 9th Grade Counts work across the county. The goal of this camp is the give students a jump start into high school by awarding the students .5 credits for completion of the camp. Camp recruitment targets students who are at risk of not completing high school for a variety of reasons. Students who participate in this camp not only benefit from the credit but also the connections to high school staff and other students that they will see next year. Career exploration is the tool the camp uses to create engagement and to apply skills the students will need in high school.”

What I hope students get from NW Noggin:

“I believe students will be highly engaged and motivated to learn about their most valuable asset, their brains. To me, this is one of the greatest pieces of this partnership. My other hope is that the volunteers can speak with the students about their own particular career path; why they chose it, what it looks like, how to get into that career, etc.”

Come join us!

We’ll have some exciting new human brain specimens to share in Gresham too!
