Help Blue Ridge Literacy by conducting student mock interviews. We will share our professional experience while helping learners practice their interview skills, build confidence, and receive feedback in a supportive environment. It is also a chance to connect with learners, hear their stories, learn about their goals, and get to know potential talent in our community. Kiwanian participation provides valuable real-world practice while strengthening community connections. Each mock interview session will run 30-45 minutes. Sessions will be conducted from 10:00am-12:00pm on September 22, 24, 28, and October 1. Volunteer for one or more sessions. BRL provides year-round English literacy classes for adults across the Roanoke Valley. Their Advanced and Post-Advanced level ESOL learners are preparing for their next steps, including higher education, career training, and employment opportunities. See link for…
