Models in the Community
We will be partnering with the non-profit organization Big Brothers Big Sisters throughout the year on this project, to give our seniors the opportunity to mentor and guide young members of our community during some of our fun educational activities. At the end of the program, Cassie will compose a personal letter of recommendation for each senior on the team that references their character, their involvement in their community, and their ability to serve as a team member representing our company and brand. The letter of recommendation will also include a professional headshot of the senior it references. This is great for college or job applications.
