WESD Youth Transition Program in Business at Sheridan High School

Kathy McClellan, a Youth Transition Specialist for WESD, lead an effort to establish a student operated coffee cart in Sheridan High School.  This small business will provide an opportunity for a group of students to improve work skills and learn the ins and outs of running a small business.  Kathy's energy and collaborative approach fostered support from Sheridan School District administration and staff.   As a result, students have a new learning opportunity, everyone gets to enjoy a high quality coffee stop and some of the proceeds will go toward a purchase to benefit students who attend Sheridan High School.  A win-win-win!!!

The project was featured online in the Oregon Youth Transition Program news.  To read the full article go to:
