Community-Based Education

An Invitation

On behalf of the Lebanon School District and the Lebanon Valley Chamber of Commerce, we would like to offer to you, as a Lebanon Valley business partner, several unique ways we can work together to get our students involved in the process of training to retain the future workforce of Lebanon Valley.

The Mission

By schools and communities working together, we can provide students with the opportunity to explore various career pathways as they develop workplace and academic skills required to become the future workforce of Lebanon Valley.

Expanded Opportunity

Please note that the Shadowing a Student opportunity listed in the brochure has been expanded to include adults seeking opportunities to serve as mentors in grades 1 through 12.

Perhaps your business would consider release times for your employees to join us in this rewarding networking opportunity meeting anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes per week with student on campus. Students who are receiving mentors have a variety of needs. Any child or teen can benefit from a productive relationship with a caring adult.

The Network

Remember it takes all of us participating in some capacity to create the future employment network Lebanon Valley will need. Please contact Cal Gates by phone or by email to assist you with this important mission.

Please take time to read the brochure which lists several ways your organization and its employees can partner with our schools to develop Lebanon Valley’s future workforce.
