Project Title: MyLife Camp
Project Description:

We are seeking funding for our new initiative, MyLife Camp, a 3-day free-of-cost program tailored for 5th and 6th graders from Kalamazoo Public Schools. This program aims to provide a space for students to explore their strengths and interests, focusing on self-development and career choices. Our overarching goal is to empower these young students, fostering self-worth and belief in their ability to succeed from an early age. MyLife Camp was designed to align with the Michigan Career Development Model, ASCA Student Standards, and Xello for elementary students.

Objectives:
-Discover Individuality: Identify personality traits and values that make each student uniquely exceptional.
-Explore Careers: Step into the shoes of different professions, opening doors to a world of possibilities.
-Teamwork and Achievement: Appreciate the diverse talents around them and learn the art of collaboration for greater group success.
-Overcome Challenges: Expand comfort zones by recognizing and tackling obstacles that may hinder personal achievement.
