Manchester Township High School (MTHS) Junior Achievement (JA) students were invited to participate in the JA Women's Future Leadership Conference at Rutgers University. This collaborative series brought women from various professions, career stages, and backgrounds together with students to share advice, learn new skills, and set goals for the future. The activities featured interactive breakout sessions led by volunteer mentors that encouraged students to learn, get involved and network, with topics designed to give the next generation of leaders the confidence and skills they need to dream big and reach their full potential.
Mrs. Heather Staples of MTHS shared that "MTHS' JA students who attended this conference walked away with valuable advice about leadership, teamwork, and the importance of grit, perseverance, and accepting change. The day consisted of a panel of executives followed by an elevator pitch workshop and team-building activities. Thank you to all for providing this opportunity for MTHS students to continue learning and growing outside of the classroom in this way!"
