As you prepare for your five days of career exploration, please keep in mind that Career Academies are designed to help Scholars learn about potential career paths and connect with professionals in various fields. We’ll be visiting college campuses, community centers, and other professional environments, and we encourage Scholars to actively participate and engage with presenters. When attending Crossroads programs, Scholars are expected to: 

• Put phones away and take off headphones

• Show attention to speakers; no sleeping, heads down, sunglasses inside, etc.

• Keep hands and feet to self at all times

• Speak respectfully to peers, Crossroads staff, and guest presenters

• Be an active participant

Please note, failure to comply with Crossroads expectations will result in a dismissal from the day's program. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your counselor or myself, gdavis@crfdn.org.
