Youth motivational presentation: New student transitions

When students start at a new school, they’re freaking out. “Will I make friends?” “Is it cool be involved? “How do I survive here?!!!” These are the questions addressed by Scott’s interactive, new student orientation programs. Matching students with trained, upper-classman mentors, Scott will facilitate a fun, spirited half-day of motivation, teambuilding and guidance to prepare new students for a great experience.

After hearing an upbeat motivational presentation, students will participate in large group mixers that get them playing, talking and laughing together. Then they’ll break into small groups for teambuilding activities and advice from their pre-assigned upper-classman mentor. Students leave with enthusiasm, confidence and a great attitude about their new school.
