Workshops for Teens or Adults
 
 I am available to facilitate workshops for teens or adults who work with teens on a variety of topics from Hey, Get a Job! or Hey, Back Off!  I have been a classroom teacher for sixteen years so I guarantee more activities and less lecture.  Available topics are described in more detail below.  For prices, availability or more information, please contact me at jennie@jenniewithers.com .
 

Hey, Get a Job! Workshops

 Topics include:
  • How to find a job
  • Labor laws for youth
  • Completing a master application
  • Resume writing for teens
  • Interviewing
  • Workplace expectations

 

Except for finding a job and labor laws which I usually combine, each topic will take approximately one hour.

 

Feedback from Three Springs Juvenile Detention Center:

 

"Ms. Withers came to our residential treatment facility/school in March 2010 to give a presentation to students that would prepare them for a job interview.  Ms. Withers captivated the students with her presentation, hands-on learning activities, and insights for teenagers on how to prepare for an interview, interview, and get a job.  We look forward to her coming back to our school this Fall."

Hey, Back Off! Workshops 

Topics include:
 
  • What is harassment, bullying, sexual harassment, stalking, hazing, cyber-bullying?
  • Harassment as a crime
  • Passive, Aggressive and Assertive personality types
  • How to deal with harassment

 

Each of the topics are quite involved and in order to be thorough I will need approximately two hours for each.  Each topic can be done for  teens, parents or educators. 

 

 

Feedback from the 2010 Idaho Counselor's Association conference:

 

"Very informative; I liked the way you presented it clearly and stayed with the PowerPoint. This material on personalities is for individuals, not just teens."
                             ~ Denise Jensen, ICA conference attendee
 
 
"Loved the slideshow, good info to give to teens, very straightforward. The most useful thing I learned was how to break down the personality types and help them become assertive in a simple way."
                             ~ Chelsea Pelton, ICA conference attendee
 
 

 

                                                                                                                  


Book Clubs or Book Talks

 

 

If a workshop is not in the budget, how about a book club meeting with me?  All you need is a SKYPE account and to schedule a time with me.  Contact me at:  jennie@jenniewithers.com and let me know about your group and the approximate number I'll be talking with and then I'll be happy to video chat with readers about Hey, Back Off!
