Reason to Give has started it's Live and Learn workshop series for the fall of 2011. October was Job Readiness month and included two workshops on resume writing and interviewing skills presented by experts in the field. We have had a great turnout thus far, and hope to continue our success through the spring! November is Financial Security month, so participants will be learning how to budget their household, plan for the future, and start their own small home-based business. Due to the large turnout of children for childcare, we are also incorporating youth computer based workshops at the same time. Participants of the Reason to Give program who graduate from the Live and Learn series will receive a computer for their families.

If you are interested in volunteering to work with the adults or youth at any of our workshops, please contact shannon@firebellyfoundation.org. Workshops are held Saturday afternoons and Tuesday evenings.
