38th AMBYESE Annual Educational Conference this weekend

The 38th AMBYESE Annual Educational Conference is being held this weekend.  The virtual event is aimed at preparing students for college through interaction with professionals from many fields and relevant workshops to help students transition to college.  AMBYESE, which stands for Annual Multicultural Business Youth Educational Services Embarkment, prepares multicultural secondary school students for the challenges of a more diverse workforce in the 21st century. 

The Conference is free to participating high schools.  The theme this year is preparing for a successful transition from High school to college. The conference is on Saturday from 10am to 2pm.  https://www.ambyese.org/annual-educational-conference

Naval Officer Jaleesa Harrigan, who is from Bethel and an active member of the Alumni Association, will host the event. The organization's goal is to motivate students to strive for excellence academically by exposing them to career options in the corporate sector, and to facilitate their anxieties concerning “big business” by instilling in them a high level of self-esteem so they can learn about embarking on careers through highly successful multicultural role models. 

AMBYESE also hosts the YES I CAN or Youth Endeavoring to Succeed Program.  The purpose is to enhance the academic skills and career focus of college-bound high school students so as to improve their likelihood of admission to, and success in, college, and ultimately in life.
