The future belongs to the children. Get involved in showing them what their future could be.
Role models
Are the pictures
That young people
View to see their future.
Get involved in being a role model for others. Especially young people. They need to see role models in whatever careers they may choose, just so they can picture themselves doing those jobs someday. The more they see, the more they’ll have to choose from. Make time to volunteer in your local schools, talking to kids in grades 5-12 – paint a vivid picture of what you do so they can begin to think about what excites them. Talk to your supervisor or the head of your company – let them know what you’re planning and get others involved – the more the merrier. Every middle school I know of is looking for people from all walks of life to do this – the more diverse the better. That way, every child can see first-hand all of the professions and careers available and start to think about what they might be. Sure, they could look things up online and watch videos – but there’s nothing better than seeing and listening in-person. Get involved in giving young people something to dream about. Be a role model today.
