Leadership skills are attractive to colleges, employers, and the military. If you are looking for training in this area for your teen, look no further than the IGovern camps Generation Joshua is running this summer. Not only do your teens hear wonderful speakers and learn about being a leader, they also have fun in the process.

The College Board website provides useful tips and suggestions to discuss with your teens regarding ways to reduce test stress. Although many of the ideas are common sense items, discussing these with your teens before they take a college entrance test may help to curb their nervousness. Remember to pray with your teen before the test!

Many teens are breaking the mold and using the high school years to focus on others rather than themselves.  Check out opportunities in your neighborhood to find areas where your teen may volunteer.

Help your teen get a jump start on finding a job this summer by having him work on his resume and interview skills.  Creating a resume is not only a practical help, but it can be his English assignment for the week!
