🎉 GRIT Grad Greatness! 💼✨

We’re thrilled to celebrate four incredible graduates of the GRIT Summer Business track (pictured below) who are taking their next big step! Congratulations to:

Kiera Scott
Maddissyn Hayes
Kaytie Hatfield
Benjamin Yandila

After completing the GRIT Summer Program at Shawnee State University through the Bear Track program, earning industry-recognized certifications, and showcasing their talents at our Career Fair, these students have officially landed internships with Appalachian Marketing & Media, a local agency doing outstanding work in our region!

Their 3-month internships could even lead to a spot in a 9-month paid Associate Program, where they’ll receive professional development, real-world experience, and certifications in marketing. 🌟

This is exactly what GRIT is all about: connecting youth with opportunities that spark purpose and build brighter futures.

Way to go, Bear Tracks grads—we’re so proud of you! 💪💚💜
