Career exploration is a game changer for students in rural communities. Research shows middle school is a key time to build career awareness. At Palmetto Middle, Ms. Elvington @MarionCountySch shared real-world insight—then students took on the ultimate human knot challenge.

Exposure creates opportunity 🎓#O6Afterschool Achievers from Sims Middle toured @uscunion —many for the first time. A highlight: the Student Closet, giving students access to professional attire and confidence for what’s next. Grateful to Carolyn Conley for an inspiring visit

A door of handprints—every one tells a story. 🎨🚪Across 8 counties & 13 schools, #O6Afterschool Achievers like Aubrielle turned doors into symbols of opportunity. Each handprint = a door opened. Join us May 8 at the @ColaMuseum as we celebrate a Decade of Opening Doors.
