Hello, Gang!

My name is Erin Lynne Bouman and I am your new JPD Content Editor! I am very excited to start a new chapter with you and share as much great new content as humanly possible. Right now you are all probably wrapping up your school year with exams and final projects- summer is almost here!

This month, we have some great advice on volunteer options and how to chill out and make the best of your summer. We have tons of new Career Profiles to sink your teeth into, including some great career options in the trades’ section. Have you ever kicked yourself in the butt for not finding a summer job quick enough? Stressed to the max and need some advice on how to deal? Interested in learning about Sports scholarships? We have all those articles and more; we got your back.

You want to be able to walk into a new school year and shout, “I am ready!” So, don’t fall in the hole that is the summer boring blues so you can look back and go, “I wish I could have done that”; no regrets. Use June as your springboard and spring into summer ready and rocking…
