The Model Connection, Inc. :: Model Citizens

The Model Connection, Inc agency owner Lisa Scott has always had the belief that personal, scholastic and career success, although earned, is a gift to be shared and a gift that warrants a certain responsibility. (A responsibility to share ones motivation and wealth of knowledge with others.) She has placed a large emphasis on volunteer and community involvement throughout her life. When The Model Connection, Inc. first opened its door over 9 years ago, Lisa had one additional requirement of her talent other than providing their marketing tools. They were required to do a certain amount of volunteer work per year. The agency eventually grew to a size that made the tracking of donated time impossible and the program "Model Citizens" was left behind. That is until now. In the spirit of that original division, Model Connection, Inc will now offer a Mentoring program to young people called "A Day in the Life."

This mentoring program invites professionals of all types to spend a day or a day at their job with a young person whose mind is just starting to fill up with career aspirations. The program is opened to students 12 to 14 years old and will run only during the summer months of June 15 to September 15th when students are on their summer break! This will give these young people the chance to see what it is like to spend A DAY IN THE LIFE of someone working their dream job.

We are looking for Mentors in all types of fields and you may choose your availability and the amount of time you have to give of your day(s). This is a great way to give of your already committed time and to influence a young person . You and your company will receive a certificate stating that you are a Model Citizen, Mentor for 2003, your photo will be featured on our website and more importantly you will be making a difference.

The first step is to fill out the application letting us know what you do in your field. Once approved by your company you will then be contacted as the summer school vacation gets closer and we will match you up with a student. Your donated day should be a fun, educational and motivational experience and it is your choice as to how you wish to conduct your day. We also ask that you include lunch in your day. You may give a half a day or several days throughout the break period, any and all donations of time are greatly appreciated.

At the WIFV 2002 Charm City Awards Lisa Scott had the pleasure of honoring her Mentor and friend, Nancy Suerth, owner of Accurate Casting and Talent by presenting her with the Phenomenal Woman Award. The presentation and teary-eyed speech of Ms. Scott thanked Ms. Suerth for all of the great gifts she had shared throughout the years but the first on the list was "Thank you for always having the time."

Take some time to mentor a student, motivate a young mind and share a Day in the Life of YOU!!!!!!
