The Sacramento Bee Visits Summer Program

Summer sizzles with rising temperatures and the launch of PRO-Youth in Action Summer Program speaker series. First up, in the newly launced series was Cathy Rodriguez, Community Affairs Manager for The Sacramento Bee newspaper. Equipped with magnetic enthusiasm, first-edition copies and the daily paper, plus loads of Starbucks gift cards for program participants, Cathy mesmerized her audience of tweens and teens about the 153-year history of the newspaper. Interest was piqued when participants learned about her Community Affairs responsibilities and that Cathy was first in her family to go to college. Sharing loads of sage advice about the importance of education and career choice - her young and astute audience grilled her with two vital questions, how much does she get paid? and how to get an internship? Youth In Action Summer Program is made possible by People Reaching Out, City of Sacramento - Youth and Family Services Program and Kaiser Permanente.
