CCHS News and Announcements
Workforce Readiness Bootcamp runs from May 2- June 2 for Seniors and from May 2- June 16 for underclassmen. Students will be expected to be in school all day (10am-5:30pm) Tuesdays-Thursdays. We will be breaking into groups according to student interest and/or chosen career cluster to engage in projects designed to develop skills and provide work experience for our students. Students will need to apply and interview for their area of choice. Students who have full time jobs that can be documented through Work Based Learning contracts and Work Logs will not need to attend daily, but instead turn in their signed contracts and maintain their log. They will need to show that their resume is complete and that they know how to fill out a job application in order to be dismissed from the daily activities of the Bootcamp. Please contact Heather with any questions related to this final segment of the CCHS student calendar.

Outward Bound is offering a free backpacking trip to LGBTQ+ youth this summer in California. Outward Bound LGBTQ+ coursesare designed for LGBTQ+ teens to build community and cultivate self-efficacy through service-learning, leadership development, and self-discovery in natural environments. This course is staffed with Instructors who have lived experiences with and demonstrated support for the LGBTQ+ community. Staff strive to create a safe space for teens who have experienced being marginalized due to their identity, and/or are exploring their sexual and/or gender identity to build community and cultivate self-efficacy. Students should expect a traditional Outward Bound course structure, where they’ll learn technical skills and take responsibility for daily activities, while also developing relationships and building community with other LGBTQ+ youth. The program provides full-tuition scholarships for highly motivated LGBTQ+ youth from under-resourced communities to attend an Outward Bound wilderness course.
