Ground Hog Day Is

National Job Shadow Day

Got a job? Share your skills with the kids!

The Martha’s Vineyard Youth Leadership Initiative is seeking participants for its second annual Job Shadow Day. MVYLI youth will be matched with Vineyard businesses in order to provide them with firsthand experience in their fields of interest. Some of those participating say they aspire to become architects, economists, engineers, doctors, nurses, physical therapists, small farm lobbyists and environmental scientists.

Job shadowing will take place Feb. 2, 2012 from 2:30 to 5 p.m. A reception will follow from 5 to 6 p.m., at which students and their mentors can share their experiences.
