AIRE Preparation Workshop


Thursday, March 8 from 3:30 to 5pm at Extension Center
Application, Interview, Resume & Essay (AIRE) is a 4-step process by which youth are chosen to attend National events such as National Congress, National Conference, and International Leadership Conference. AIRE is an opportunity for older youth to prepare for filling out college applications, making a resume, and having job interviews.  In fact AIRE is a great way to capture information like youth activities, leadership, and community service; which are the criteria for competitive scholarships like the Park Scholar.  Any youth ages 14-18 can participate. This session will review application, resume, and interview tips.  To sign up for workshop please call Extension Center at 456-3575.
