High school is busy enough, but you have to plan where you want to go after graduation. MAWIB provides programs that can help you make the step from high school a success - whether it is to school or a job. And help may be waiting for you at school.

Through STEP-UP, you can learn what career interests you by getting connected with internships, computer training and other special courses.

Take the time to try out a few jobs or volunteer at a local organization. Or take a trip to area colleges so you can see

what it would be like to enroll. Meet others who are looking for

the same answers.

Learn what is out there and learn more about yourself.
This is STEP-UP.

Find out about STEP-UP from kids who have tried it.

• Charkaris – who credits STEP-UP for helping her become less shy and more independent.

STEP-UP Coordinators work at area high schools. If your school does not have one, call the coordinator at a school in your neighborhood to learn more.
