HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Boys and Girls Club Epic Skillz program is still raising funds to support job shadows and summer internships for club members. Aiden Kimball, Hutch High sophomore and EPIC Skillz member job shadowed at Bold3PL.
"They asked me what my strengths were," Kimball said. "Recently, I was getting into video and editing so, I told them that and I got to make a video for them."
Jordan Brown, BCG EPIC Skillz coordinator said the important thing they are trying to teach is soft skills, like showing up on time, taking pride in your work and working as a team.
"We have about 20 high school kids that came forward and wanted to take part in this opportunity," Brown said. "Nancy Bether and I started placing these people. There's been many businesses that have agreed to do this and without their support, we wouldn't be able to do this."
Kimball said he now knows that Bold, at least, is a positive environment.
"At Bold, most of their stuff is about having a positive attitude and having fun while you're doing your job, as well as do your job."
The fundraiser is ongoing through March 11. Their goal is to raise $10,000 for the program. If you'd like to help, go to bgchutch.com/donate.
