Hi!

We want to share an upcoming opportunity with you all from Young
People For’s (YP4) Progressive Academy Online. We will be presenting a
new Career Series lead by our progressive partner Alyssa Best. Alyssa
offers guidance and skills on topics related to career and
professional development to build leadership for social change. She
has mentored and worked with emerging leaders at Wider Opportunities
for Women, the Center for Progressive Leadership, and the Institute
for Women’s Leadership at Rutgers University. She also conducts
outreach and manages training programs for The OpEd Project.

You haven’t missed the first installment yet! You can still sign up

The first is on Thursday April 19th, 2012 | 3:00-4:00pm ET | Marketing
Your Best Self: Resume and Cover Letter Tips. This session will go
over your resume and cover letter, they should tell a story about you
and your experience. Join career coach, Alyssa Best, for this online
session designed to help you highlight your skills and convey your
broader impact in your application materials. We will discuss how to
be more specific and concrete in the examples you use and how to
translate a job task into a results-oriented accomplishment. You'll

And the third is on Thursday May 17th, 2012 | 3:00-4:00pm ET |
Negotiating Salary and Benefits in an Economic Recession: As
activists, we’re great at advocating for the issues that we care
about.  But, we’re not always able to transfer those advocacy skills
to speaking on behalf of our personal and professional interests in
the workplace.  In fact, as a result of our commitment to serving
others and contributing our energy to our causes, we might let
ourselves feel guilty for making our needs a priority. Again join
Alyssa for this online session to discuss strategies for negotiating
salaries and benefits even in an economic recession. We'll also
discuss the importance of self-care and how to best communicate your
needs and set boundaries in order to achieve a work-life balance.

Best,
Paloma
