Honors Students Lead Workshop at High School
THIS is what Community Action looks like! ⭐️
Last month, Nickalus Jones, Yasmine Malone (SMBHC 21), Vaniccia Dawson, and Tyler Yarbrough (SMBHC 21) led a college readiness workshop at their alma mater: Clarksdale High School. “Throughout this week, we instilled within the students that their stories have already shown the world that they are problem solvers and change agents, contrary to what the many people will tell them,” explained Yarbrough. “The youth of Clarksdale and the Mississippi Delta are our hidden jewels, and they need to understand that. Our community needs to understand that.” Tyler, Yasmine, and other CHS alumni led workshops on crafting personal statements, refining resumes, learning networking tips, and anticipating the ups and downs of college life. Thank you for inspiring others into action, Tyler and Yasmine! 🙌🏾#citizenscholars
