"I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live."

-George Bernard Shaw

Our Workshop Approach

PYBFF workshops strive to create a foundation for workplace success in one action-packed day. Each workshop explores career options, provides tips on resume writing, prepares participants for interviews and demonstrates guides for success in the work place. Participants hear from inspirational guest speakers, enjoy an instructional business-attire fashion show, shop in a free clothing boutique featuring donated business casual and professional apparel, and leave with binders filled with easily digestible materials to assist their job search efforts. Many also apply for jobs online during the workshop, visit with prospective employers, and leave with polished resumes.
